Accessory Rangefinders
Voigtländer Rangefinder Attachment
Some Iloca cameras were equipped with a built-in rangefinder, but many models had no focusing aid at all. For cameras with no rangefinder, you can fit an accessory rangefinder to the camera's accessory shoe. And even if the camera doesn't have an accessory shoe, you can still carry one of these handy devices in your pocket.
These old rangefinders are generally more than accurate enough for most photographic situations. A typical rangefinder has a range of around 3 feet (1 metre) to infinity. When you take into account the cameras depth of field, there should be little trouble focusing the camera under normal situations.
It's worth taking into account that a vintage rangefinder may need to be recalibrated.
