    I have some old rangefinders.... 120 too.... the yellow rangefinder spots were sometimes hard to see unless I blocked some flare.... so I learned to guess focus better... Voightlander made some 120 rangefinders... in almost all of them, the shutter was a bit slow, so my film was slightly overexposed compared to my incident meter... but for negative film, that's okay.... I also used black cardboard to gobo flare next to windows.... unless I wanted that flare-late-60's-to-early70's look.. the top shutter speed on 2 of my rangefinders were dodgy, and I learned the hard way to wind the film slowly, otherwise one would strip the film sprockets....
