What is a "rangefinder camera"?
A rangefinder camera is a type of camera that measures the distance between the camera and the subject to assist in focusing. It features a separate system for determining focus, which helps achieve sharp images. The camera uses a viewfinder to frame the shot and manually adjust the focus based on distance measurements. This design is appreciated for its compact size and precision, making it popular in street photography and other situations where quick and accurate focusing is needed.
