• Olympus 35-SP

  
  Built between 1969 and 1976, the Olympus 35-SP was the most technologically advanced fixed-lens rangefinder, using a dual metering system: spot and centerweighted readings. Consider the age this was a huge step in the manual use of the camera. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/80/Olympus35SP_fr_big.jpg

• Canon Canonet QL17

  
  Often described (as many other cameras are) as the "poor man's Leica", the Canon Canonet QL17 is a brilliant rangefinder at a fraction of the cost of most other rangefinders. It sports a crystal clear, tack sharp, f1.7 45mm lens that accurately captures colors as well as all the gradients between black and white. Produced in the mid-1960s and sturdily built, many excellent examples of this camera and later versions can be found on ebay for a steal. Due to age, the light seals need to replaced but this can be done by most camera enthusiasts with a sheet of black foamy, x-acto knife, and some adhesive. There are several website that offer instructions on how to replace the seals simply by plugging Canonet QL17 into a search engine.
