This was prompted by Marc Small's comment that practically nobody can scale focus a 200mm lens, hence Visoflexes. It occurred to me that an add-on rangefinder ought to be lighter, but that I'd never seen one the right size for this job; the kind you get in camera shop junk bins are designed for relatively short lenses, and are usually too dark to be usable anyway. The next step up seems to be humungous ex-army things used for aiming howitzers, with a baseline measured in feet. Is there anything in between? - bright enough to see through, base wide enough for a 200-400mm lens, small enough to go in your pocket? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- jack@purr.demon.co.uk - Jack Campin, 2 Haddington Place, Edinburgh EH7 4AE
