I have purchased a couple of pocket rangefinders on the auction site that were supposedly "calibrated" and "accurate". Not even close.


So,if anyone has a rangefinder that ACTUALLY works, please let me know.


Thanks!

If it is a watameter that you have they are very easy to calabrite, the wheel that you turn to get the distance read out, has a wheel on it that you turn to calibrate the rangefinder, just look at a distant object,with the first wheel, the one that has the distance on it, to infinity, then turn the upper wheel until the object is correctly superimposed, and the RF is correctly set, I have 2 or three of the watermeter's and they are often out of calibration, and the above has set them all, the setting's are very similer with many of the shoe mounted rangefinders

I have a Olympus Trip 35 that works ....If you can find one with the diode working it is pretty good...especially for simple color and black and white film.

Ideal rangefinder, boxed lightly used if at all for $10 including shipping in a cushioned envelope.
You get a refund less shipping($2) if you ain't a happy camper.
