Re: [APML] Taurus cameras

Bobby,

Ted Ishikawa could probably calibrate a Hutech KE for the Taurus body. Give
him a call. He has a precision depth micrometer that us uses to measure the
film-to-flange distance and uses that to calibrate the KE. You'd send him
the camera body, he'd measure and set up a focuser for you. Price is pretty
reasonable also.
