The card rangefinder seems to work, I printed the card and tried it
comparing the distance according the card and measuring the same
distance, the method was not so exact initially but it reasonably
worked fine after a bit of practice, but I never took a photograph
with the card. I'm used to the method also described above (my
height), I could see other Rollei 35 users adopt the "height" method
too.
