Backside of the Olympus OM707, viewfinder, ae lock button, power focus slider switch. Power focus was the ONLY way to manually focus on this model, or mount an OM system manual lens on the body, but doing so at the expense of the viewfinder readouts.
Looking through the viewfinder of the D7000 and 3 Coking ND filters (total ND20) focusing on the ice.
The Brownie D has 2 viewfinders: one for portrait and one for landscape pictures.
This is a look through the landscape viewfinder, although the camera was standing in portrait mode :-)

Rangefinder

Metal body.
Clean, modern looking design.
Measurement in feet.
Fits to the accessory shoe.
Rangefinder works on the coincident image principle; when you aim on an image through the viewfinder you see two images. Turn the focussing wheel until the two images become one and then read off the distance on the wheel.
The coincident image can be adjusted. There is a knob in the middle of the focussing wheel. Set the wheel at "infinity". Focus on an object over 50 foot away. Turn the screw until the two images coincide.
There is only one rangefinder. The photograph shows the same one from two different angles.

This are some of the shots from the first roll of film I took with my very old Kodak Retinette 35mm Viewfinder Camera.
Focussing is done by estimating the distance to subject, then rotating the lens, and exposure also has to be set manaually with readings from a seperate light-meter.
I quickly got bored of checking the light-meter, so I reverted to the Sunny 16 rule and guessed.
Film was cheap Kodak colour (maybe Ultra, I can't remember!) I got from the car boot, and processing was 1 hour Boots (Fujifilm)
Thanks, Rob.
Fiddling with camera phone and Horizon Kompakt and you get an instant 180Ëš lens.. Not entirely practical, or good, but quite fun.
I just wanted to say thank you to capital connect for the first ever sucessful train journey from harpenden to london on a sunday i've had in years. Even if you did lie about the service not running on your website, causing us to endure an unecessary 20 minute wait in the rain at west hampstead on the way up the day before.
The round lens popped up in the middle there serves to magnify the image on the viewfinder and reverse it so that it's not "backwards." I suspect that it's best suited to the 35mm operation, but I don't have the kit for 35mm anyway. Actually, all I really want is the 35mm-to-120 spindle adapter, as that would be useful in a couple of cameras for more sprockety goodness.
