Ting,
There are other ways, all of which impose more bulk into the system, like
buying an old (seperate) rangefinder, like the ones that Leica used to sell
before they built the rangefinders into the cameras.
If you don't feel happy with the estimating then you're maybe better off
with a camera that provides a facility to eliminate that.

<< I have always wondered how does one focus with the Minox since it has no
'whatever' to tell U whether your subject is in focus.........
How do U do it ? Is there any other way other than 'guestimating' all the
time ?
Peace

Hello . I've had a 35 GT Minox in the past . But I think there are much
better choices for
fewer bucks . Want an example ?
Olympus 35 RC : AE , Manual , choice of speeds , auto flash system ,
rangefinder , very small size , great quality lens ,
small price , tough thing . ( 30 bucks for my exemple )
Minolta Hi Matic , AE , auto flash system , rangefinder , very small size ,
great quality lens , small price , tough thing .
When I see one of those at a flea market , I can't resist . ( 15 bucks for
my
exemple )
