Rangefinder

[BredWest]

I have a Leica 1600 B and simply use it as a rangefinder and never attempted to use the other features.

Well, yeah, but doesn't that feel like a waste?

Well it isn't as if its a problem to use as just a rangefinder. But to answer your question, yes it is a waste for me at least.
If they offered a cheaper version without that information, id have bought one.
If the Sig had been availiable, and knowing what I know now, I would have bought that one.
Frankly, all of them at some point under certain conditions will disappoint you.
The possible exception would be the very expensive Vectrinix. But I haven't used one enough to be certain of that.
Ive been (told) by those I know having them that they never fail.
