They don’t have the mirror vibration either.
It’s the camera most likely than the lenses…!
The problem with rangefinder cameras is that they are harder to focus, the lenses are very expensive, and the cameras don't have matrix metering or autofocus. So not much use to me.
I don't recall but the Leica M comes with with a tripod, to utilize the lens resolution, right?
Because at $4:20 per roll for black and white and $4:20 per roll for color film it is economical. 120 is expansive

Matrix metering is a lazy persons way of getting it right. I use a Nikon F2a which only has centre weighted metering which is as good as the matrix on my D700. You just need to know the area of acceptance of the image forming light that matters. In the case of the F2a with a standard screen with a split image the zone to use is the engraved circle outside the microprism area. I have not owned it for very long and with the 4-5 36 exp films I have used since I bought the camera, I have had perhaps 8 failures which I will put down to getting used to the camera.
I don't know if it is your sense of humour(?) but I have never known any Leica come with a tripod. The lenses are very, very good and the performance is only improved by the use of a 3 legged friend and a cable release as is the case with most other cameras.

The biggest problem I have with RF's is that they're so limited when it comes to long lenses.
You just need an auxiliary viewfinder and focus by judgement. Like the SWC.And ultra wide lenses.
Nah, real men don't use meters.
No, it means using your head rather than relying on a device.Not using a meter is the epitome of laziness.

Apples and oranges. BW film has tremendous exposure latitudeDo you use a thermometer and a timer when you develop film, or do you just use your head? There is nothing mensch about not using an exposure meter.
Nailed it. Plus it is much easier to use and see what the results will be with polarizers on SLRs.
Rangefinder cameras tend to have better results than SLR cameras. No true. That depend on the photographer as long as it is in the 21mm to 135mm range. Outside that range SLR cameras do much better.
Rangefinder cameras tend to have better results than SLR cameras. Again not true SLR are just as fast manually and faster with autofocus.
They don’t have the mirror vibration either. Neither do SLRs at shutter speed that can be hand held and SLRs have mirror lockups which can be used for slower speeds.
Source of attachment?
