Well, I think so and I believe there was confusion with the aperture and focus ring when he mentions the lens' f-stops.

However, any SLR with a split-image focusing aid on it focus screen is technically also a rangefinder. The split image uses two separate paths through the prism and alignment of them for focusing follows the same principle (triangulation) as a rangefinder that uses one image overlaid on another.
