I am an SLR guy. I know that range finders are excellent. However, I enjoy changing my lenses to suit a situation. Especially, I like the latitude of going hyperfocal or choosing a zone of focus. When I was a kid I had a Brownie Starflash and no matter how sophisticated a range finder is I get a flash back to that little camera and the REALLY hot flash bulbs. When I first purchased my Nikon FTN and 3 lenses I was blown away at the freedom to change a lens to change a shot. And the the creative possibilities one gets just by changing focal length by adding a different lens still amazes me. When it comes to photography I am still like a kid in a candy shop.
