The markings on the lens cannot be set accurately enough to use a large aperture lens wide open and close. The best way to test your rangefinder is with film and a tripod. Use a three dimensional subject and a large aperture lens wide open. Focus carefully and then check the film with a loupe or use a slide projector. I often use a gg screen to check my focus and coverage but film tells it all.
