pico Posted December 29, 2010 Share #21 Posted December 29, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just fix a little lightbulb (battery operated) to the front of the camera, or use a match - if you really can't see the framelines I doubt you'd see much else anyway! Ah, just turn on the Way-Back machine and check out the Focuspot. It is a device that clips into the rangefinder and projects a beam from the two windows to allow focusing without looking through. I have a couple. They actually work! (On a Linhof Super Technika). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted December 29, 2010 Share #22 Posted December 29, 2010 Ah yes, I've read (and seen) The "Dambusters" - the same principle was used to get the correct altitude over the water; based upon a couple of theatre spotlights, as I recall. The distance from the dams was calculated using a device based upon a coat-hanger, I also (dimly) recall. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Nomad64 Posted December 29, 2010 Share #24 Posted December 29, 2010 Now I know where those DSLR manufacturers got their Auto-focus Death Ray idea from!! So far I believed that modern auto-focus devices originated from a former military technology to aid hunt planes locking their targets...

coup de foudre Posted December 30, 2010 Share #27 Posted December 30, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Actually, the Reviewer claims he will use the s**t out of the camera in the comments- a number of respondents had a hard time getting their heads around that comment. In the review he comments of several collectors editions he has that he uses. I do find it rather entertaining. Here's the link: It’s Not the Photographer, It’s the Camera Stupid! The M9 Titanium Arrives. By ~6 | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS and Seal will! he loves his Titaniums (i got the good fortune of getting to stroke his Jahre backstage while he fiddled with my M8 and we nattered about all things Leica )... now, for those willing to "settle" on a lowly black one, there's this: The Great Leica M9 Give-Away Contest!
