What I was shooting with a SW612 and 90mm and 135mm lenses, I simply used an old accessory rangefinder. I used an Ansco DeJur which was modeled on the Leica designs and could slip into a hot shoe. It was accurate down to 24". It was small and need no power. I hung it around my neck. Watameter was another good rangefinder. Which the Kodak rangefinders had a really good design, the materiel in them can frost and yellow making them useless. These rangefinders can come in an imperial and meter scale. I bought these on eBay.
BTW, if you live in a place that have lots of security and are nervous about terrorism, flashing a laser rangefinder around might not be a great idea. With the stupidity of thinking photographers are terrorist, this kind of device is probably going to be looked on as very suspicious. It was the best of times and the worst of times...
