This is the only rangefinder I know where the film plane is marked on the body. Would be happy if other manufacturers had done so. |

Lots of Japanese 35mm rangefinders had the film plane mark. Maybe most of them.
Quite common.
This looks like a copy of the typical all manual Japanese rangefinder of the late 1950's-1960's - not a a specific one, but the whole category.

Really? I haven't seen it on any. Not to talk about the russians and germans but also no one of my japanese rangefinders has it. SLR yes, but not rangefinders.
Btw., anyone knows how to clean the shutter of the S2? How to get to the shutter blades. |

Probably the later ones dropped it.
It doesn't look like the Yashica Electro has one, but the Yashica Lynx models do. I also have an Olympus 35 and a Konica Auto S that have them, Ricoh 500 has it but Ricoh 500GX does not, etc.
