My wife is going to KILL me. I bought another Graphic, only this time is was the Crown Graphic with the Graflex Top Mounted Rangefinder.
Could someone give me a short tutorial on how to operate this rangefinder. Specifically, what is the red button for? I've pushed it, but I can see nothing happening through the rangefinder lens. I do see a split image through the rangefinder and the distance seems to be right on. I've read that these rangefinders use batteries and that they project a couple of beams of light to guestimate the distance, though I can see nothing like this. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, this one looks like it just came off the showroom floor. God I love these things!
Thanks, Ron
