I started in photography when the rangefinder reigned supreme!! Yep I'm that old.. I was lured away and into the SLR gambit in the early 60's, and basically stayed there until 1997, and beyond. But in 1997 I decided to give the Leica M6 a shot again, but not an exclusive one!!
I remember when I first started shooting the SLR and I was bothered by the "Viewfinder Blackout" at the moment of creating the image.. It seemed so wrong
Of course it was the reverse when I switched beck to the M6 in 1997!!! Both systems have there strong suites, I always liked the rangefinders for up close and personal work, street photography, etc. Back when I started in the 1950's Color wasn't an option, Tri-X was the norm for me. And when I started back shooting shooting rangefinders again in the 1990's I again migrated to B/W and pretty much only shot Tri-X of CN B/W in the M6's
This time around should I get a Mirrorless box and I think it will happen sooner of later, it will like wise be part of a total system, and not exclusive.. But I'll definately be shooting color this time around!!
