Hi Jerry, I have put on a few pounds in the past decade, I'm not sure bigger is better...at least in that case. There's a Stearman bi-plane on the island here. It did make me think of you ;-) Regards, Austin -----Original Message----- From: rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jerry Lehrer Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 6:01 PM To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rollei_list] Re: shimming maxwell screens Austin, Upgraded.

But other than that, your assumptions are absolutely correct. Jerry Austin Franklin wrote: Hi, Also, the shims I've heard people mention (Dymo label take, and paper) are unstable over time. Getting a focusing screen as accurate as can be is a two step process. The shims are more for getting the screen planar (that corner to corner the screen is in focus), and that's step one. Then, the overall focus has to be adjusted to match the taking lense. Regards, Austin - N No virus found in this incoming message.
