The problem then is they aren't calibrated to the lenses. The rangefinder tells you 10feet but the lens only has markings at 7 and 15 feet. One Zeiss Ikonta I have has an uncoupled finder built into the body which matches the lens. My favorite folder is my Super Isolette 6x6 which has a coupled rangefinder. Visit Jurgen Krenkle's web site or search certo6 on @#$%$BAY. He always has a couple reconditioned folders for sale. Not a bargain though but they are in new condition.
