Hi Jaap,
I'm guessing the focusing wedge is the horizontal line I referred to, and the microprism patch is the ring I referred. Thanks for the terminology-- there was no internet when I was shooting in high school so I never learned the proper names for these things ;-)
Anyway, I'm curious which you find faster and more accurate for fast lenses below 90mm, which are after all the typical rangefinder lenses, at least for most of us. SLR with aforementioned aids, or rangefinder? I know you often shoot very long lenses with quite impressive results, but certainly that isn't the typical rangefinder application these days.
