It has no rangefinder coupling, but has three pre-set distance click stops for snapshots: 3m, 1.5m and 1.0m. It is a 7 elements/5 groups design, and the supplied finder has 4 elements in 4 groups. As far as I know there is no distributor yet in the U.S. I got my kit from Japan directly. You may like to check their website at http://www.cosina.co.jp/bessa You may not be able to read Japanese, but at least the pictures are pretty.
