Some questions to those with more experience.
1. I understand how the parallax correction works, but why is there a leetle line on the focal length selector beside the main line? When should I use that?
2. I know the image is inverted, and that's not a problem, but why can I turn it upside down - what advantage does that give me?

Bill,
Sorry - I was off line and could not help with the disassembly instructions. I see however, that you did quite well. Fluff sounds better than cack......
1) The short line on the focal length selector allows for the lens' narrower field of view at short distances: the two L-shaped plates will show less when the dial is set to the short line.
2) Due to the optical design of the VIDOM, not only is the image lateraly reversed, but it will also turn upside down when viewing vertically. That is when you will turn the milled ring at the ocular...... est voilà - the image is right side up again.
All the best,
Jan
