>>3899517lol your comments about the curious nature of rangefinders tripped the K band in my detector. I guess the cANON R3 is more like an Uniden than a Canon, as psychic as the Canon R3 may be :^).
>WWII rangefinder techYou may be interested in the relatively recently rescued (a few years ago, maybe 10) telemeter from the Graf Spee "pocket battleship".
>>3899519I honestly know next to nothing about those, but I know the lenses for FD mount are among the best Canon ever made. I'd say give it a shot.
They're really coveted in cinema, for example. The SSC models for example are pretty great. Beware the thorium in some FD lenses, though (radioactive). I know there's a variant of their 35mm f/2 that has it.
