scrubs Posted July 12, 2011 Share #41 Posted July 12, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think you misread my plan. It’s NOT for the little split-image focusing window:if you put anything over that you will see no patch in the viewfinder at all. The industrial tape I was speaking of…. and attached a product info page ….. according to 3M: glows for six hours!!! And, I mentioned the tape could be attached (facing inward naturally) to a simple slide on over the top little mount where by it can be slipped on and off the camera body by just pulling it up and off. It then is easy to ‘’recharge’’ with a lightbulb in a jiffy. This is elegantly simple! It is just for making the frame lines glow a bit! The problem is finding this stuff in small pieces.. 3M sells 150’ rolls. I was talking about my plan, not yours hahahah! Don't know about the frame lines, but for the focusing patch you could try a little trickI used to do with my old Yashica rangefinder that had a terrible focusing patch, in anything other than bright light. Cut a small peice of black tape (or similar) the same size as the focusing patch and place it on the centre of the view finder window, so it is in same position as focusing patch. It will take a few attempts at positioning and trimming of the tape patch to get the exact size right, but when you have it you will know and not notice it is there. now you will be able to see the patch in the darkest of enviroments It's very effective - the only down side being - you will have to focus solely by The broken line method. a similar method may be applied for frame lines too if your nifty enough with the scissors!

Robert_M Posted July 14, 2011 Share #47 Posted July 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jaap, Do you have a flash synchronization ignition device built into the camera for that lighting source or are you waiting for Rip to build such a device for you?
