Article name

Shouldn't this have been consolidated at Range finder? Un-hyphenated "rangefinder" is a neologism that some wouldn't consider a correctly-spelled English word (including me). —Michael Z. 2005-06-30 17:11 Z

I merged to rangefinder because there were more links to it by that name than as range finder. If you think it should be under "range finder", then feel free to move it. --Carnildo 30 June 2005 17:51 (UTC)

No, it's not a neologism. Of course it was one, once upon a time. -- Hoary 06:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invented in 1936? Huh?!

We read that the range finder was invented in 1936 by Morris Schwartz. It may have been invented by Morris Schwartz (I'll investigate), but it certainly wasn't invented in 1936. Famously, Japan's photo industry was nowhere until the nation's hardworking but unscrupulous and unimaginative citizens ripped off the designs of Leitz and Zeiss after the war [multiple smileys here, 'cause this is all wrong]; but even in backward (?!) Japan, the Auto Minolta (made by Molta Gōshi Gaisha, thence Chiyoko, thence Minolta, thence Konica Minolta, now [ugh!] Sony) had an integrated rangefinder as early as 1934 (this page says 1933). Come to think of it, Leicas had them from 1932 or so. Let's check this! -- Hoary 07:06, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And of course this turned out to be hogwash. Kodak was selling a rangefinder camera (with a coupled rangefinder, to boot) in 1916. The extent and durability of untruths in Wikipedia is dismaying. -- Hoary 14:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. fgnievinski (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Time somebody went boldly ahead and did the merge. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:45, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
