Re: [APML] Film Images



Stu;

     There is one draw-back to the Mitsuboshi Knife Edge Focuser.  It's set 
to an individual camera although you should be pretty close to another of 
the same make and vintage.  If you have a micrometer you can set the 
distance yourself when changing cameras.  Regardless, I'd highly recomend 
getting one.  I don't regret the expense...joe  :)
