This camera is technically not a rangefinder camera thou. Very Happy
But very enjoyable, meter is quit easy to use and accurate.

Congrats Bill!
It's a really cool little camera to use.
I can concur on the meter. It works perfectly.
Probably good to leave it in this forum;)

Thanks, Andy! I guess I could move this myself if someone objects to it
staying here.

Thanks, Carsten! It will be about a month before I can get a superwide, but
do have 1-2 LTM lenses (50 primes) I can play with till then.

Hey William you can use the auxilary VF from your Electro GT if you don't have another.
The tele framlines are roughly 62 mm but will give you somewhere to start with.
I think I remember that you have the GT set with Aux lenses Rolling Eyes

Anyway I have used that finder with pretty good luck for my BESSA and 50 Yashinon lens. It's all good fun Cool

Hey Bill you will need hyperfocals with your new Bessie!
Please download this Excel file I am preparing, it's not completed yet but it already contains some of the more important focal lenghts:

I will post another message when it's completed.

Orio, what do the blue and red figures signify? Maybe I need another cup of
coffee...

Sorry, have some reading to do:

No need of coffee Smile
The number in red indicates the focus distance you need to set on your lens
The number in blue indicates from what nearest distance your photo will be in focus (the other end is infinity).

eg. you mount a 28mm lens at the aperture of f/8
the table indicates that you need to focus your lens at 3.2 meters approx., and that your photos will render sharp objects from 1.6 meters approx. until infinity. Smile
