Thanks for checking out this thread. I am quite new to rangefinder photography so please pardon my beginner question 🙂
I recently purchased a Lynx 14 and, other than the shutter being stuck, it seems to be in really good condition. My question is most likely due to a misunderstanding of how the focusing works with the camera. I understood that focusing with rangefinders involved lining up two images of the object you are attempting to focus on. When I look through the rangefinder, all I see are the frame lines. Does the superimposed image only appear with a fresh battery? I thought that was just for the metering.
Also, the filter ring has a slight dent in it which is barely keeping the name plate from coming off. Any advice as to how I should go about evening that out?
