some red plastic I can put over these autofocus sensors. Here's a Chinon Genesis which a person once slipped into a box lot of rangefinders I had bought. Aside from showing a fair amount of wear, I think this camera might work fine. I'm not certain it will autofocus correctly without the missing red plastic "thing", but if you had a piece of red plastic, I think you could fashion a replacement using simple hand tools and beer.
This really is not a bad camera at all. My wife has used one of these since Chinon first released them, and I'll say it is (a) dependable (b) impressive on the autofocus ability and (c) cranks out terrific photos. Fact is it is next to impossible to get it to take a bad picture.
Want to find out about it? $5 plus the cost of shipping. But please don't ask me to call it a rangefinder...unless of course you're willing to buy enough of what I've listed so that we can call it a box lot. Then I'll call it Britney Spears if you want me to.
