My first camera with adjustments was a Voigtländer Vito BL. I put a Leica rangefinder on the top in the she and got a much higher percentage of shots. Wish i had that now for my Rollei 35. People will want one for their 0. I know many different ones were made from many different designs. Otherwise it's hard to shoot now stopped now and get it in focus. Maybe their come out with one and it will work with laser beams! Yea, that's the ticket! Shoot out "laser" beams. Markwr
