In case anybody is wondering, I'm the person who succeeded in ordering the Proximeter from Pacific Rim. But it's lucky I specified in my email that I only wanted it if it was in fact a working shoe-mount rangefinder. Lucky, because after they packed it and sent it off, they re-read that part of my email and sent me a message saying they couldn't remember exactly what it was and if it wasn't what I wanted, just keep it anyway rather than return it and I wouldn't be charged for it. And so when I got my package a few days later here in sunny England, what I found in it was; two metal-framed optical parts connected by a 3-inch chain. I think this is a close-up attachment for a rangefinder-type camera; the round bit goes over the lens, the almost-rectangular bit goes over the viewfinder and rangefinder window/s. I'm curious to know what camera this will work on. On the base of the rectangular part it says Voigtlander Proximeter 1 93/294. Moral of this story; not all Proximeters are rangefinders! - -- JB
