Scope note
Cameras that focus by means of a coupled or un-coupled rangefinder device. Though many cameras may be fitted with a rangefinder including some press or view cameras, this term is most commonly used to refer to cameras that rely solely on the rangefinder for composing and focusing, rather than a through-the-lens reflex system.
