The most famous wide angle camera is the Hasselblad superwide.
No rangefinder you don't need one you could be way off and still nail your
focus with the 38mm Biogon.
Which is like a  21 on a 35.

You can easily do it with a 24 or longer
But a 15!?!?!!?!?!?!
A 15 is like hitting the broad side of a barn from one foot away.
A rangefinder would be a complete waste of machinery and weight.
