: The rangefinder (side mounted, Kalart, w/Focuspot) on
: my Speed is just a little bit off... enough to bugger
: up my work low f. stops... and I would like to fix it.
: Love the ground glass but I can't seem to master the
: trick of holding up fifteen pounds of mahogany and
: flash batteries, getting a sharp image, closing the
: hood, stuffing the holder in, and transitioning to the
: viewfinder without moving the camera enough to change
: the focusing. Does anyone know where to find
: instructions on this operation, or is it a simple
: enough operation that you could just tell me what to
: do?
: Also wondering about the Focuspot. Will my current
: two-cell Graflite Jr. put out enough current to power
: it, or do I need to drop three bills on a (rhymes with
"bite-flavor) handle to make it work? (hey, I know. I'll leave
a
: message asking some sucker to sell me one for $30, even
: though they're worth $300 and then I'll sell it to some
: Star Bores nut for a handy profit!)
: Will a four-cell gun work with the Focuspot, or will it
: blow out the bulb?
: On an unrelated note, don't y'all think it's time some
: of us got a machine shop going and started
: manufacturing counterfeit Graflite three-cells? There's
definitely money it it. :)
