He claims that if the subjects eye is 100 cm from the camera as indicated by the scale on the lens barrel and is in the center of the image, that if the camera is rotated so that the eye is now at the edge of the frame, it's distance will have been reduced to 94.7 cm. This looks like utter nonsense. Can anyone prove it to be correct?

Great for understanding how to be able to compose shots that are not head on while maintaining precise focus even at full aparture, this was a bit hit and miss for me before even with SLRs (although easier). http://www.accessv.com/~martntai/public_html/Leicafile/recompose.html - -- Herbert Kanner kanner@acm.org 650-326-8204 Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will pee on your computer! - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
