Being an old rangefinder man myself, I saw no smiley and thought the
writer was bonkers.  :-)

BTW, there was a LSM camera that did have a brighter viewing
image with a large aperture lens; the British Periflex, but it was not
strictly speaking, a rangefinder camera.  The Guinness company
owned Periflex (I'll drink to that!)
