My rangefinder #6

Linhof Technika 70 with Technikon 100/2.8... this is the only rangefinder I know that have magnification coupling besides frame and range coupling. The magnification of the viewfinder will change with the focusing distance. I.e. at closer focus distance, the viewfinder image will enlarge to give the correct framing.

The Carl Zeiss Stereotar is splendid in a way that there is no mechanical rangefinder coupling with the camera body; this is because the lens comprises of two lenses and has no room to accommodate mechanical coupling. Instead, it use optical coupling to displace the image in viewfinder while focusing.

My rangefinder #11

Voigtlander Bessa R2C with the original pre-war Olympia Sonnar 1:2.8 f=18cm lens, the one built for 1936 Berlin Olympic game. Even though there is a reflex finder, the image is still left-right reverted. This is because pentaprism was not invented at that time and mirror is used instead.
