Well said. I find also that using a rangefinder lets me work with the
subject more, rather than hiding behind the camera, which is how I feel with
an SLR. But using a RF for landscape somehow isn't very satisfying. I
really need to see the picture with that black frame, just like a
transparancy.
So I like the RF's for candid, people, and GP photography. And the SLR's
for pictorial, macro, landscape, and abstract.

I find rangefinders concentrate your attention on the subject and feel more
airy.
Reflexes are more liquid, because of the focusing effects, and my attention
is more on the picture and the frame and less on the subject.

even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself --
