Thor,
A very nice rangefinder that would be good for outdoor photography is
the Bessa R2S commemorative edition. It is a Nikon-mount rangefinder
(metered) with a 50/3.5 Heliar (non-collapsible). If you decide you want
to use it indoors, used Nikon 50/1.4 lenses are pretty common. The
Heliar is the best performing lens I have ever used. Cameraquest sell
them, but they are no longer being made. If you are a one camera, one
lens shooter like HCB, it is a good one provided you can live with the
slowness of the lens.

Wanted to add two things...
That 50/3.5 Heliar was tested/reported to be fully corrected wide open
and if I'm remembering right, by the same account the most highly
corrected mass-produced lens in all of 35 mm photography...
Jeffrey smith has a LOT of experience shooting the C/V system and has
some really beautiful images to prove it...
