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 :)
