How is a old film Nikon F rig...no meter...not a "rangefinder?"

...auto-return mirror mechanism, auto-return aperture diaphragm, new lens mount, new body structures to support those bits, et al...

Now you're just muddying the waters with facts!

Why is there something, rather than nothing?

That is a profound question that our philosophy teacher tried to drill into our heads when speaking about Parmenides.

The universe would be very simple if nothing at all existed. By introducing just a single subatomic particle, all sorts of complexity then arises.

So why is it that anything exists? My answer is that things exist because total non-existence is impossible...and that is the true miracle of the universe.

We now return you to our rangefinder discussion, already in progress...

Yet the battleship isn't using that rangefinder to take a photograph, so it's not really a camera. It shoots, just not film...
