The thing about rangefinders is, it takes practice and even I didn't love it at first but now that I'm used to it, it's really fast and it's a tactile process and the results feel good. That said, it's not for everyone and an auto camera where you can just snap away is much easier. I think the point of the range finder is to be purposeful with your photos and take photos you want to take vs taking lots of snaps. Just my thoughts.

100%, also, seeing framelines instead of looking through the lens is great, because you can essentially "preview" 100's if not thousands of different compositions at once

I don’t find I am much faster with most auto cameras unless they’re easy to set up to just have AEL and no autofocus linked to release. Rangefinders you can just do a measurement, set it, and use zone focusing for at least pre-focus… it’s fast.

My picks. If someone wants better than digital P&S function and image quality I recommend the Olympus E-Pm2. Very small with say the 35mm equivalent 17 2.8 pancake but it has the same sensor and AF as the OMD5. Very well made and if you can find one the price is very attractive. For film it is the Olympus RC rangefinder. Both are tiny cameras that give big results.

I don't carry a camera with me everywhere I go, but whenever I want to bring along a camera "just in case" I bring my Rollei 35. It has an incredibly compact size, it's fully manual, and it takes amazingly beautiful photos. At first I was really intimidated by zone focusing, but after shooting a few rolls I've found that I really enjoy the process. It really forces me to be present and pay attention to the picture I'm about to take. I really like that "slow" aspect of it.

Just came back from a trip to Boston and only had my Olympus XA. Aperture priority rangefinder from a 35mm f2.8 lens. Can easily get 37 or 38 shots out of a roll if you’re careful enough. And small enough to fit inside my shirt pocket. The original XA was a rangefinder but the following series XA1-4 were zone focus cameras with the XA4 having a macro function. The flash is detachable and two options are available the A11 and A16. Pretty much the perfect travel camera, check it out!

As to your comments about your OM-10 with the Orange add ons and colorful strap, I say go for it. If you love it and it makes you want to use it that is just fantastic.

I have multiple cameras that I like to carry around of following types: 35mm SLR, and medium format SLR, TLR and range finder. It's hard to pick one camera that I like the most, but looking at the history, the C330 has been on most trips. Recently got a Rollei 3,5F and have it cla'ed. Maybe that one will get a lot of use too, it's quite compact. Or not because of the fixed lens. Since I acquired my dream 35mm SLR and got it CLA'ed, I like to carry that (Pentax LX) with me also. But actually I prefer to use medium format.

My digital EDC is my Oly EM-1 and the 7 Artisans 25mm f/0.95 as well as the Oly 14-42mm kit lens. Filmwise is different because I always like the camera that I end up using. If it's a quirky camera or a finely tuned and precise piece of equipment, I use them depending on what I want at that moment. But, if you pushed me for a camera that's both a good bit of kit and is super easy to use, I'd say my Minox 35GL would fit that bill. You should try and get yourself one, if you can. I have quite a few rangefinders and I have no trouble with the focus patches, it doesn't worry me so much.

dave hancock has an excellent video on replacing light seals with cotton yarn. I just bought a sheet of light seal foam from japan because the average age of cameras in my collection is 54. I hear you on the lack of enthusiasm for rangefinders but i've grown quite fond of them and tlrs in the last month. They make it so easy to drop a nd, red or green filter on the lens. If you want a lighter 35mm slr build you should check out the humble pancake lens. they are small. I wish i could have a positive emotional response when using a 35mm for a walk about camera. I just love the big negative to much. It's all situation dependent. I'm rotating between a tlr, prewar-folder and mamiya 645 for a general purpose walkabout kit. They all garner to much attention. I want to capture a moment on film anonymously and be almost invisible. When people see me with vintage kit i become part of that moment. the curious, people with memories of family with cameras swarm around and make it impossible to shoot. It's like taking a cute puppy to the park everyone wants to pet it and tell you about their dog. I use digital as a polaroid to get a good estimate if i'm clipping highlights or blocking up shadows. That's an easy answer for a walkabout camera. apsc mirrorless without a viewfinder. the 35mm f2 fuji is tiny and stopped down the performance is acceptable. It's real fun to throw rangefinder glass on there. that's 24mp in a coat pocket. Don't be afraid of melding the newest tech with your vintage gear. I managed to get a new godox trigger and flash working with a 70 year old tlr this weekend. It could a hotshoe meter, new glass, or a cheap trigger to a pocket flash.

For me, it's the Canon EOS 300V with either the 50mm f1.8 or 40mm f2.8 pancake lens for slr. The Konica Minolta Dynax 5D with either my Sigma 30mm f1.4 or Sony 20mm f2.8 lens for dslr. When it comes to rangefinders, I have to pick the Minolta Hi-Matic 7s over my Leica options - because as a daily carry, the much cheaper Minolta has a lot to offer. Compacts... The Minolta Riwa zoom 70W is so small, but delivers beautiful photos, it's my pick at the moment. For digital compacts, I find myself picking up the Olympus XZ-1 (I.Zuiko digital lens) and the Sigma DP1s a lot. I also a like good bridge camera like the Olympus C-8080 wide zoom (a very heavy camera, but with a lens made at the same factory as the contemporary Zuiko lenses and of the same quality) and I have just added the Olympus C-730 ultra zoom to my line-up. For the super compact and definitely pocketable option, I just picked up a Canon IXUS i5 - the smallest dedicated camera, I have ever owned (even smaller than the Olympus Mju 400 digital).

For absolute compactness, I'd go with my Sony A7R III and an APS-C pancake lens, the 20mm f/2.8. If you like the grainy, high-contrast b&w look of that Art mode in the Olympus DSLR, most of the later Olympus Micro Four Thirds bodies have that, and many of them are very small and compact. Canon also has a similar mode in its lower end Rebel DSLRs, and they rank among the smallest and lightest.

I seldom shoot film but when I do it is with a Pentax MESuper. It is a very small SLR. I have an Olympus Trip 35 which I haven't tried yet. My EDC digital is an Olympus micro 4/3 camera, either of the four models I own, usually with a 17mm prime lens (but I do have options such as the excellent 45mm). I also have a Sony a6000 but I am not fond of using it so it mostly just comes to family events for snapshots.

For 4 days in Paris I used only the Sony RX1R2 for 1.000 shots. That’s my EDC. About 20 pictures analogue with Yashica FX-D with Distagon 2,8 28mm

Nice the see the X20! It sounds you don't like to bring bigger camera's and prefer the smaller point and shoot camera's and I can understand that especially if you’re out and a bout with your family. Its funny that you named the Olympus Pen with the SLR’s because its technically a SLR but many of the PEN series are not so many consider them a rangefinder. Its also pretty small, a Leica M might even be bigger with most lenses. To me it sounds even better than the Point and shoots you like to bring maybe with the exception of the Yashica T4. I would love to own one since I don’t like point and shoots at all because of the fully auto settings. That said my ADC is a Leica M6 and it taken me like 10 years to finally get the perfect camera for my every day carry, as I tried many (cheaper) camera’s but none of them sparked the same joy. I don’t care for flash, I don’t like automatic settings and manual focus needs to be smooth and available. The reason I sold my X100 is because the manual focus is horrible on that camera which is a same because it was almost perfect as a ADC especially when film is getting way to expensive.

My EDC is an Olympus OMD E-M5 mkII with a 17mm 2.8 pancake lens. Fits in my short pocket. All the controls I could possibly want and can wirelessly upload the images into my Google Photos library on my phone.

I usually go back and forth between my Fuji xpro 3 and Leica TL2. If it’s anything moving or requiring fast AF, it’s the Fuji for sure. Anything else at all…definitely the Leica. Just renders more natural looking to my favoring without the trending clinical over sharpened look.

My current EDC is a Diana F+ as i have given myself the challenge of getting the best possible (black & white) photos from a Plastic Fantastic camera. I was inspired by the photos by Michael Kenna in his book "Holga".

As a preface, I enjoy your videos but I'm probably not in your target market. I'm 65 and retired and began photography before digital was an option. I don't look for the kinds of things you photographs; I've always been passionate about natural and artificial landscapes. I do enjoy looking at your photographs, even if I have little interest in making them myself. That said, when I'm out and a out without the specific intent of making a photograph, I carry my Konica Big Mini, usually loaded with Tri-X. It has an excellent lens, only a short shutter lag and in twelve years has only missed focus once, unlike my Olympus Stylus cameras. If I intend to take pictures it's more complicated. I still love my Minolta SRT-101 35mm SLR but it wasn't new when I bought it and shows its age. Also, the light meter was designed to use no longer available mercury batteries. It was converted to use modern alkaline batteries but exposure is now a matter of opinion, more or less. If I want a 35mm camera I grab my Minolta 800si super-duper big bodied 1990s SLR but alas, I have to admit that I don't often shoot 35mm. When I want a larger negative, which usually is the case, I take my 1939 vintage Rollieflex New Standard. Excellent lens and extremely light but no built in light meter and it occasionally doesn't advance film properly because 120 format film base was thicker back then. I also have a Kiev 88 but I'm not in love with it. But I'm usually wanting a larger negative, so... When I intend to make pictures I take my ancient Burke & James 5x7/4x5 view camera, usually with Ilford FP4+ or HP5+. This is neither lightweight nor compact, I admit, but given the opportunity it's what I carry. I don't do digital. I don't hate it; I'm grateful that it made so much film equipment affordable. I was a computer programmer/systems analyst/IT manager for 40 years and for a number of years was the go-to company photographer using Nikon digital cameras and lenses. I just never fell in love with the digital process or workflow. My darkroom is my refuge and playground and have no intention to give it up. Anarchic, I know, but hey, the world needs goofy old farts, too! I hope...

For film point and shoot cameras I can't say much, maybe the Minox 35, but many models are not fully automatic and they can suffer from many reflection if the light source is in the frame, but they are pretty sharp. Maybe in the RF category... For digital, I have a Ricoh GR IIIx, and the first time I saw the files I was really amazed for how sharp is that lens! I owned a Fujifilm X30, beautiful camera, but I didn't liked files, so I sold it. SLR/DSLR or Mirrorless in my opinion are not really "every day carry", especially if you think about a digital FF.

You should definitely try OMD series if you like older DSLR Olympus. I have a pen e-p1 which is compact and pretty interesting in terms of image quality. You have also the OMD EM10 mk2 which are becoming DIRT cheap and are small, not too heavy, offer amazing pancake lenses AND a flash + viewfinder. This was my first camera ever, and I wanted it small to bring them with me everywhere. I did then switch to the OMD OM1 which is cool but less compact.

Cool take on the EDCC syndrome and great editing. I usually bring my Trip 35 and XA cameras around, and for digital the Sony RX100 III or Ricoh CX5 or GRD. I just had my Yashica T4 serviced so that will probably get a good run for the money. And I don't mind carrying SLR's around, an EOS or Contax 137MD or any Minolta SRT. Yes, I usually bring several cameras around.
