Hey All -

To my burgeoning Leica-clone rangefinder collection, I just recently 
added a mint-condition IVsb that I picked up at a physical auction a 
week ago. I had a couple of questions:

I made a website with extensive photos:
	http://photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/CanonIV.html

* There's a red-dot stamped on the top cover, to the right of  the 
"Canon Camera Company Japan" in the photo of the IVsb at the very 
very bottom of the page.  Is this special or do all IVsb units have 
it?

* There's a red card inserted into the leather case. I'm assuming 
it's for film loading and shutter testing . Has anyone else seen 
something like this?



I also got a black Yashica GT (fixed-lens) and Minolta 35 Model II 
(Leica clone), if anyone is interested:
