Rangefinders (Fixed Lens)

Fixed lens rangefinder film camera reviews – these cameras are similar is size to many of the scale focus film cameras found here. The main difference is that they have the added benefit of a rangefinder to help the user focus. If you are unaware of the concept of a rangefinder, you can find out more about them in this article: What is a Rangefinder Camera, and is one right for you?

As with all the content on this website, if you find something of interest, you can find more similar products by clicking on the tags you will find at the bottom of the reviews.
