I just set the hyperfocal distance and carry the camera. If I am in an area which would not require infinity, then I will reset the distance to zone focus the lesser distance. I don't consider it unusual to do this, since several cameras I've owned (including the Minix ML I now have) did not include rangefinders, either coupled or uncoupled, and it was about the only way to use them. From many prints that I have seen from Leica users which are somewhat 'fuzzy' at 8x10, I think that the genre who made the camera famous probably disregarded the rangefinder somewhat often.
