Why would you want that fast of a lens on a rangefinder camera?

Mamiya had an 80mm f1.0 lens for their old manual 645 MF camera if I recall. It was pretty soft wide open, though, not so useful.

"Why would you want that fast of a lens on a rangefinder camera?"
That cracked me up.
I lusted after that Canon lens for a long time, but I was a little to young (thus poor) to afford it.
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
That cracked me up.

It was an 80mm F1.9 lens. Nice lens.
Ah-hah.

Still have Dad's NIkkor 50mm f1.2 lens. Looking into those is like looking into our kitten's eyes when she sees a cat toy. Dilated to see you !
I sold one of those lenses not long ago. Have regretted it since. The 50mm 1.4G that replaced it, though AF, isn't half the lens the 1.2 was.

Ultra fast lenses are kind of cool with an SLR because your image is brighter and the split image spot doesn't go dark on you in bad lighting.
If you want a bright viewfinder image with a rangefinder camera, get yourself a Leica.
Less than 6 inches of DOF with an F1 lens for a subject that's 8 feet away...
