But I am intrigued by the "RHACO MOTIV SUCHER" offered by 3860alain. I have never seen anything quite like it. Does the pivoting base suggest some kind of mechanical parallax compensation? (Something along the lines of the crude system used on the old B&J "Watson" finders for 4x5 "Speed Press" cameras). |
