OK so as you are refusing to answer the question it appears that Ogorkiewicz has in fact nothing to say about the sf 14 and that you comment "The Sf.14z is, has always been and remains a simple set of binoculars" is your opinion not Ogorkiewicz's, as you would have us believe.

It has a much greater magnification than a binocular, or gunsight for that matter. Higher magnification translates directly into better estimation of range at distance.
When I say only flak units carried rangefinders I mean only flak units have a rangefinder issued to each and every gun. (unfortuneately this isnt reflected in the rangefinder values for these equipments in-game) Obviously one held at infantry battalion HQ is meaningless in game terms.
You dont think that "E-messer" might be a reference to rangefinding with the sf14? a standard peice of kit on the vehicle in question? rather than to a "real" rangefinder that it didnt have?

Were not talking about tanks here Claus, the SF14 is not issued to tanks. The nashorn as an example it isnt a tank, armoured and tracked it may be but nevertheless its an AT gun. And if Im not mistaken manned by gunners not a "tank" crew, All (hetzer jgdpz IV jagdpanther etc etc) the vehicles issued with the sf14 are designed to shoot from the halt and get a first shot hit, ie requiring good rangefinding and having the sf14 for this purpose. Sf14 would be largely useless in a tank as a tank is about shock not gunnery.
