I have two rangefinders which sit in the hot shoe.  The problem then is 
they aren't calibrated to the lenses.  The rangefinder tells you 10feet but 
the lens only has markings at 7 and 15 feet.  One Zeiss Ikonta I have has 
an uncoupled finder built into the body which matches the lens.  My 
favorite folder is my Super Isolette  6x6 which has a coupled 
rangefinder.  Visit Jurgen Krenkle's web site or search certo6 on 
@#$%$BAY.  He always has a couple reconditioned folders for sale.  Not a 
bargain though but they are in new condition.
