Just a quick question... I just got a Voigtländer Bessa. It has the common but seemingly odd combination of the top end Compur Rapid shutter and the low end but capable Voigtar 1:4.5 triplet lens. My question is whether the numbers on the focus ring are feet or meters? My best guess is that they are feet because the focusing table on the back of the camera is in feet, but I thought if someone knew for sure, it might save me some frustration. The numbers start at 3.5 and go up to 50 and infinity.
Thanks,

It is definitely in feet.
Folders typically have a minimum focusing distance of 1 meter or 1.2 meters. That's 3 / 3.5 feet when using Imperial scales.
