WTB rangefinder cam for a Crown Graphic for 150mm or 110mm?

[Vickko]

Would someone have a rangefinder cam for a Crown Graphic for 150mm or 110mm?

Bizarre thing is that it might be easier to find an entire camera and set it up for the lens, rather than getting the cam.

Like Neal said on the forum which no longer exists to me, you have to make your own and experiment with trial and error.

Or do what I prefer since I don't trust those darn rangefinders anyway. Take a screwdriver and some nippers and rip all that garbage out. A little gaffer tape to cover the holes and go shoot....

As I understand, some Kalart rangefinders had a scale for different lens lengths. I think another brand did as well. I would have to check at home to be sure.

RFs were sold as aftermarket add ons for 9x12, and maybe 4x5 as well.
