[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear Dr. Blacktape, In my recent Leica acquisitions, I picked up an old Accura 28-135mm zoom finder. It makes my old IIIf much easier to shoot with. It's a quantum leap better than the Leitz Immarect finder, and a glasses wearer can see the entire frame at all focal lengths. But it has a conical metal eyepiece that could wreak havoc on my eyeglasses. I've temporarily made it glasses-friendly with a piece of "moleskin," cut into a circle, with the eyepiece hole punched out using a looseleaf notebook punch. Dr. Blacktape, meet Dr. Scholl! I would like to replace this temporary covering with something cleanable and of a suitable color--namely black, so it doesn't refect ambient light from behind my glasses into my eye. Pray tell, dear Doctor, is there any particular brand of black tape that is less prone to bleed glue from the edges, or leave a skicky residue on the camera when removed after a period of "Leica incognito." I ask this with, of course, the *deepest* respect, and in all sincerity and seriousness. Really. Yours truly, Spec Wearer in Seattle - --- Peter /\: ________ __ ========= , , , , , , |' , , / b | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ~|' | / b b ,| ,| ,| ,| ,| ,| ' ,| | ,| |__|__|__| |__| | | | | ~' =========
