New and Old

Above is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC1, which was shown at PMA 2004. It’s digital, but has manual-style controls in a rangefinder-type body. It’s pretty awesome, and I think it looks so cool!

Above is my Minolta Hi-matic G, which I use once in a while. Although it is not a true rangefinder camera, it takes great photos due to its fine lens, and I think it looks cool too! I can’t remember how much I paid for it, or even where I bought it, but I am glad I did. I have seen some sell on ebay for around $20US.
