Just to defend the Nikon 35Ti, yes, the flash buttons are absurdly fiddly, but you can switch the flash off permanently in the customization options (you'll need a manual for the code). Then, if you need flash, you can use the absurdly fiddly buttons on an ad hoc basis. Other than that, it's a lovely camera with a beautiful interface and top lens.

So, I'm a broken man. I picked up not one but two rangefinders for the price of two! The Ciro 35 and a Kodak 35 (pop-up viewfinder).

Where's the 12-step thread?

I'm afraid you're probably at the wrong place... we're all trying to reduce the amount of stuff we have and yet keep on piling up...

For me, it was a big Metz potato masher and an old Argus slr just this morning...
Pop-Whizzz-I see green rectangles everywhere!  ;D

Depending on your budget, I have a Leica CL/Nokton 1:4 40mm lens combo I'm offloading. See the sales section if your interested.  

However if your budget is tight a russian leica copy (zorki) or czech copy (opema) as well as the canonet 28 & ql-17 are all fine cameras.

it's perfect for tossing it in the bottom of a bag or pocket now

holy crap is it small!!!!!!  found a pic with the flash unit AND a matchstick



If you use the flash it's recommended you shoot w/the cam upside down....

Sometimes underlit "bela lugosi" lighting can be an interesting effect...
