There is a little more to it. Its the base line plus whatever
magnification there is in the viewer. Leica thread mount cameras have a
2X telescope in the rangefinder so the effective baselind of the
rangefinder is doubled. Cameras like the Ektra and Contax, which have
the rangefinder image combined with the viewfinder, can not have
telescopes so must have a physically longer rangefinder baseline for the
same focus sensitivity.
You also have to factor in the size, shape and color/contrast of the
patch and the pitch of the control...
Focusing SLRs well isn't all that trivial, either. There is a really
interesting discussion on all this somewhere on the net... maybe it is
Bob Monaghan's site? It is a miracle you can get any kind of definition
at 10x enlargement...
