Thanks Bob. The cam that's in the camera is for a 135mm lens but the lens did not come bundled with the body [I have a Nikkor W 135 but it's out of focus if I use the existing 135 stop on the camera]. The stops are indeed colour-coded. [I don't think I would be using the rangefinder much, so a matched cam is not a priority.]
With ground glass focus, if you tilt the back (which I do all the time) the infinity stop is not in the right position. So, on my non-rangefinder Horseman FA (with no rangefinder but with infinity stops), I place the infinity stop farther back than it would be if the camera had a rangefinder. They still do make setting the camera up a little quicker.
Essentially, if you are not using a rangefinder, you can put the stops wherever is convenient for your shooting style.
It's a technical camera, so rangefinder focus came in handy for handheld work analogous to press camera use. My brother often used that feature for handheld 4X5 shooting, along with a Kenro gyro stabilizer. And there is someone in my neighborhood that would resort to rangefinder focus during quickie Technika shooting in the rain. Of course, that method is generally unrealistic when tilts or swings are involved.
One precaution. Lenses of even the same nominal focal length from different manufacturers might not have the same exact focal length, or even be mounted on the board with the same spacing. This constitutes a problem with cams. Double-check everything first. Perhaps Bob knows someone who can customize cams.
