I'm planning on purchasing a Sony NEX 5 in the near future, and I saw some people using rangefinder lenses on their NEX's, and I thought maybe that would be a good idea.
So my question would what are some of the best rangefinders lenses under, say 1,000 dollars for landscape, and possibly portrait and street photography for those situations when I have to take pictures of my family, friends, or people in cities. My main photographic focus are landscapes though.
I saw the Voigtlander series of lenses seem pretty aggressively priced but I have next to no knowledge of Voigtlander's quality. Also, are there any potential problems I should watch out for when considering my rangefinder lens choices?
Thanks in advance, and please forgive me newbness to the photographic world.
EDIT: are there any good zooms too? Ideally, since I plan on traveling on foot a lot when taking pictures, the less necessary equipment the better.
