Not an angular displacement, but a "lateral" one. Therefore, the effect is also "lateral". This assumes you keep the axis of the optical path the same... Think of this.... If you point your camera at something, then move a foot downwards ( keeping the lens parallel to it s first line of view), then the effect is also a foot displacement in the VF and the negative..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net \ That 2.5mm at the negative will translate into quite a bit more at the subject's location. I think that, with a sketch of the rays connecting the subject to the image on the film, one could work out a correction to the paralax settings on the Imarect finder that would take into account the change in elevation of the finder above the lens axis.
