In this episode, we talk to Andre D. Wagner about how he ended up in New York, capturing photos full-time, shooting with a Leica camera, developing film, The Purist, and other adventures. www.AbstractElements.com
Phocabulary: Rangefinder Camera A rangefinder camera gets its name from the rangefinder focusing system built-in (or on much older cameras, attached to the hot shoe as an accessory. The system is typically a split-image rangefinder: a range-finding focusing mechanism allowing the photographer to measure the subject's distance and take sharp photographs. Most varieties of rangefinder cameras show two images of the same subject, one of which moves when a calibrated wheel, usually on the lens is turned; when the two images coincide and become one your image is in focus. The distance can be read off the wheel or lens in feet as well as meters. Older, non-coupled rangefinder cameras display the focusing distance and require the photographer to transfer the value to the lens focus ring; cameras without built-in rangefinders could have an external rangefinder fitted into the accessory shoe. Earlier cameras of this type had separate viewfinder and rangefinder windows; later the rangefinder was incorporated into the viewfinder.
