Collin,
I may be no real expert in this field, but I own an Iskra, a
Soviet 6x6 rangefinder (year 1963) which is a very nice and
compact (well, enough...) camera, although not really
lightweight. Mine was dirty cheap (<$50) back in 1995 but I
guess they are hard to find now (sometimes they are available on
ebay, though). It has a 75mm f/3.5 with a shutter range from 1''
to 1/500. The lens, coated, is definitely sharp for what I can
tell (made several 30x40cm prints and a few 50x50cm).
Ciao,
Gianfranco
