RE: range finders
Try all the rest, then go check out a Nikon, you'll be happy you did!!! The newere model of the 440, the 550 for $200 is a great rangefinder, and it has a 6x magnification which is nice, because my BIGGEST gripe (and it's really not much of a gripe is that he 440's 8x magnification leaves too small a Field of View (FOV). I almost bought a new one, but I just couldn't justify it when my 440 is still doing a good job, so I changed my mind.
