Talk:Rangefinder camera

message: Can anyone think of a good way to make a picture of what it looks like focussing on a rangefinder.
Perhaps its easiest to make a synthetic one. I might give it a go. Justinc 15:34, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Illustration of focusing a rangefinder

message: The picture of the "Zorki turret rangefinder" is not relevant. The device pictured is in fact a "KMZ turret viewfinder". This is a viewfinder, there is no way to measure distance with this device. Ericd 00:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I don't know about "most" autofocus SLRs, but my consumer level Nikon has several options to focus on what you want, including the option to turn off the AF and focus manually. The viewfinder has 3 small squares indicating the spots the AF is using: you can point one of these to the subject you want in focus, then lock in the focus by half depressing the shutter release to frame the image as you wish.

message: Why is the Nikon D300 listed in the "other camera types" area? Is it not just an SLR? Seems like a bit of a fan boy-ism.--Normal Phobic (talk) 18:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why? 

message: I reverted the change which turn statements like "should use a 50mm lens" to "should use a lens which accurately represents the picture" (I'm paraphrasing). It is fairly well documented that 50mm lenses are noted as being the most equivalent to the human eye. Please feel free to argue with me here if you disagree :) --Mpdelbuono (talk) 04:29, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Should be the Fujifilm X100 in the digital rangefinder section ?  I guess yes. Its a complete rangefinder camera.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.209.24.86 (talk) 22:23, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

message: "Almost all digital cameras, and most later film cameras, measure distance using electroacoustic or electronic means and focus automatically (autofocus)"
I suspect phase detection is meant here?! "Almost all" seems like a little exagaration when most mirrorless and probaply almost all compact cameras use contrast detection for auto focus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.246.2.11 (talk) 10:25, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I see no mention of the 1980s Minolta CLE. It was a high-quality camera with the Leica M mount and should be mentioned as its younger siblings are. Harjasusi (talk) 15:39, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
