I still use my TL-75 optical rangefinder. I've had it for about 30 years. Always works, doesn't need battery's and tuff as nails. If you drop it hard enough to knock it out of calibration you can easily recalibrate it.
And they're cheap! Perfect for short range use. The accuracy is excellent but it depends on the user. They can be found on eBay. Search TL-75 rangefinder.
