So: Is is a viewfinder, just for framing the picture, or is it a focusing device, whereby adjusting it until one's subject is in focus, and then transfering these settings to the lens, the correct focus setting can be determined? <<< Bad news. From what I recall (and if I'm wrong someone is certain to tell me) it's not a rangefinder, just an aid for pointing the camera in the right direction.
