If you are shooting trees or mountains, not very hard to get the focus right.

I walk around with a Bessa 46 a lot, and get good results in urban enviros with zone focusing. Fast and easy.
The 46 is very pocket friendly compared to my Konishiroku Pearl II. Better shape (and build quality).

Also frame counter and auto stop for each frame is really handy, keep the red window closed thru the whole roll.
Big clunky winder on the bottom of the Konishiroku moves easy and snags in pockets.

I bought a Moskva-4 and love it. It's become my daily driver and my favorite film camera. It fits in my pants pocket, shoots 6x6 (with a masking frame) and 6x9 negatives and delivers super sharp images that rival my mirrorless Canon RP. On top of that it's no harder to use than my Retina IIa. You can get a relatively good one for about $60 and a really good one for about $100. Bear in mind that most of them come from Ukraine, so there will probably be shipping delays because of the war.
