This was taken with what I can best describe as an electronic rangefinder. A Nikon Zoom Touch 800 AKA Nikon TW Zoom 105. Although it operates in default mode as an autofocus zoom 35, it actually allows you to preset a focusing distance on the LCD panel. Also when it auto-focuses, it tell you the measured distance on the LCD in meteres or feet. It then allows you to alter that setting if you want to focus manually.
Other than its sheer complexity, its biggest drawback is that its fastest shutter speed is 1/300 sec. I use ISO 400 film in it almost exclusively just to keep the shutter speed at maximum speed. It has an outstanding zoom lens.
This is a little used ranch house on NE New Mexico about 12 miles outside of Raton. Fuji ISO 400 color negative film. Just so I could claim to have used this as a rangefinder, I manually preset the focus for infinity.
The camera was only $10 plus shippping on e-Bay and it came with a new $12 battery and a very complicated instruction manual.
