To me, the definition of rangefinder is an accurate instrument We are mostly in agreement. No need to send names. ;-) Now, as for the above statement, it doesn't matter what a true rangefinder is. But that is what the little doo-hickeys in the center of many screens are called (split-image rangefinder) and so that is what I call them. More clear than doo-hickey. (I know lots of doo-hickeys!) Just like the debate on whether the Contax G2 is a rangefinder. Some say it isn't and some say it is. It's not useful to really argue the point, and I guess this isn't either. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake!
