Road to rangefinders....
I recently got into using the Leica M series digital range finders. Using a rangefinder is honestly very different than a traditional digital camera. For me personally, it really has been a nice journey coming from using DSLRs to Mirrorless cameras, and finally to the Leica.
This post really isn’t trying to pit DSLRs vs mirrorless vs Rangefinders, nor is it a  “oooh a Leica” (in a British Accent) / how awesome the Leica is type of post.
It’s just some thoughts I have about my photography journey thus far.
So walk with me will ya?
The Differences
As many reviews and users all over the internet have said already, there are differences in using rangefinders vs traditional cameras.
Without going into details here are a few of those differences:
You see more of the frame in a range finder
the viewfinder does not black out when you take a photo
the viewfinder is always bright and clear
you don’t see the depth of field in your picture nor do you get a picture that’s exactly what you see in your viewfinder.
Rangefinders do not have mirrors so there’s no mirror slap when you take your picture
and the list goes on….

So why should you care? (you’re right, you don’t. So carry on, click away.)
To me, using the rangefinder is not just about the tool in your hand, but the picture that you get out of it and more importantly, the experience while making it.
