John my man,
Save yer money, buy film! ;-) I can't imagine popping $250US for that little
tool that you'd probably use once a year, if that often. Because, Murphy's
Law will get you as soon as you dropped the $250 USA the camera would never
go out of alignment in your lifetime! :-)

So lets get serious here about $250 US and adjust for Canadian dollars on
film purchase, like that's about $375 in Canadian dollars worth of film, so
don't sweat the little bitty alignment thingie! ;-)

Better use of your money as long as the rangefinder is still functioning.
:-)

Trust me, would I lie to you? ;-)
