Forget the Scheimpflug cards and overlay... they are useless. You focus on the GG screen with a prism or chimney. I adapted Hasselblad prisms to work on my Rollei SL66. They have focusing eye pieces (+/- 3 diopters I think). This makes focusing near/far very easy. For many years I taught Hasselblad workshops for Hasselblad USA. I became the FlexBody and ArcBody expert and taught Scheimpflug to a gaggle of folks. Also, having a meter in the finder can come in handy at times. http://www.visualimpressions.com/HassyFindersSL66.jpg Jim Brick Sunnyvale, CA http://www.photomojo.org On Sep 29, 2012, at 10:23 PM, Peter Mattei wrote: > Jim, > > I would caution you re: mentioning "Scheimpflug".
