There is no mechanical coupling to the rangefinder. It's all scale focusing (fancy way of saying guessing and praying?).

Not a problem... I rarely focus the 21 - I either guess the distance or set it for the hyperfocal distance! Seems to work very well.


Ted Grant suggests that if you're having a problem focusing a WA lens, never focus from infinity. Instead, set the lens at it's closest focusing distance and move towards infinity. Much easier to see when your in focus.

And, as always, Ted's right! ;-)
