The main difference of the Record III model is the inclusion of an uncoupled[1] rangefinder, quite similar to that used on the Agfa Isolette
Notes
- ↑ Uncoupled means that the distance is measured with the coincident rangefinder, then take the distance read and transfer it to the lens by rotating the front element.
