I am a bit embarrassed to ask such a question here. But on the other hand there are quite a bit discussions here about other gearhead stuff, too. So here it goes:
Does anyone of you use a rangefinder for wedding work? As an additional body? Alone?
What are your opinions on this (best first hand)
There are a few, quite successful photogs doing so: I thing FlashGordon Photo here from this site, Otto Schulze of course, Fer Juaristi as a third body and I know a few more.
I for myself have a love-hate relationship to it. Use mainly DSLR but sometimes a M9 with a 35 and a 85 on a Nikon.
My main complains with the rangefinder is the inaccurate viewfinder (parallax) and the slow focus. Actually it is not that slow but fast moving, candits, wide open and fairly close - itīs a challenge my Nikon with a prime handles much better.
As I think treats with pics are always nicer to read, so here are one or two (M9, 35 Summilux):
