Voigtlander Vitomatic IIa

The Voigtlander Vitomatic IIa is one of the most impressive rangefinders I've come across so far. Launched in the 1960s, this camera was one of the most compact and heavyweight rangefinders of its time. The weight of this camera helped with minimizing camera shake. Other advantages were the big frame viewfinder and its coupled match-needle lightmeter scale, which is mirrored below the viewfinder frame. That feature made it possible to make all the necessary exposure adjustments without moving the camera away from your eye.

    I wish more photographers still used real cameras. Plastic cameras suck.
