Konica Auto S3 - Small and Perfectly Formed - By Bob Janes

Whenever I use the Konica Auto S3 I wonder why I don’t use it more. It wasn’t cheap when I bought it 30 odd years ago, but I'm glad I did.

Fixing Vertical Rangefinder Misalignment in Compact Rangefinder Cameras - By Bob Janes - 35mmc

Those who shoot rangefinder cameras on a regular basis are probably aware of (they may even feel plagued by) vertical rangefinder misalignment. A camera rangefinder works by superimposing a (generally central) patch reflected from a position slightly to the side of the viewfinder into the direct vision viewfinder. When the calibrated rangefinder shows that both images coincide horizontally, we know the object in the patch is in focus. All quite practical, but there can be issues.
