When I go for a bike ride, or for a "nature" walk, I've been in the habit of carrying a camera, and I usually prefer a medium format folder. Light, slip it in a pocket, no need to worry about batteries, and slow. At my age, I like slow.
My two favourite pocket MFs are a Mokba 5, and a Nettax 513/16.
Each is a minimalist jewel, with only the very basic features: a variable diaphragm, a variable speed shutter, and a means of focussing.
The difference between the two, other than frame format, is that the Mokba is fitted with a remarkably accurate rangefinder, and the Nettax ( similar to a Nettar ) is fitted with a reliable light meter.
With the Mokba, I gauge light by "Sunny 11" rule, and with the Nettax, I have to estimate any distance less than 20'.
I'm just curious, which feature can you do without, and which is a "must have"?
