Re: [APML] New Taurus Camera

It needs a wide throat with provisions to hook to a 2" and a 2.7" focuser if
he wants to make much headway on the common vignetting difficulties. The N2
purge ports would be nice. Also it would be nice if it were built to be
parafocal to other 35mm cameras unless he is talking about a full-blown 35mm
SLR type viewfinder at the top in place of the pentaprism on his camera.
