I learned on a Voigtlander Vito B handed down from my Dad, a 1950's 35mm film rangefinder with a handheld Weston light meter and a manually focussed Zeiss lens that gave exquisite results when used carefully. Plus a set of filters and closep lenses.
When the ASA is defined by the roll of film you've loaded, the shutter speeds are limited to 1/20 ... 1/200 sec or "Bulb", and the lens f/3.5... f/22 you really do need to know what you're doing.
And with the cost per frame around $1 a shot, yes you did think carefully about each one.
Followed by a Pentax MX, also a very nice camera in its day.
