Since I like to shoot close-up at this event, I'd really need to depend on the rangefinder. Last year I used a 1934 Super Ikonta A, and got terrific results. The main reason I selected that vintage camera was the built-in coupled rangefinder. I already had the FILCA cassettes ready and loaded to go....

Looks like everyone went to a great deal of effort. You create a great sense of atmosphere. But wouldn't a Leica A have been more appropriate ;-) Looks like everyone had a great time - including you!
