A rangefinder camera is a focusing mechanism that allows the photographer to measure the subject distance and take photographs that are in sharp focus. They are a sub-division of mirrorless cameras that have been around for many many years. In order to focus a rangefinder, you need to look through the viewfinder and first pay attention to the frame lines for your equivalent focal length. Once you find those, you’ll want to look at the center of the image where there is a little square or circle depending on what type of camera you own. As you focus your lens, you’ll see the middle area change. To get the camera focused, you’ll need to line up what you see with the center image. Rangefinders have remained popular in certain circles like street photographers and photojournalists looking for a low profile and stealth approach to their work.
