This is just too cool! I was searching for information on cleaning shutters since the Agfa Isolette II I just won is going to need some work. I found a page on cleaning a Prontor SVS shutter and then I rummaged around the site to see what else was there. I found this:

A Cardboard Rangefinder for Scale Focusing Cameras

It really works! I'll have to make one for my scale focus Isolette II.

Thanks Gordon for the link! A simple but very useful device for people who use a Bessa L.
 
Wow. It really IS cool! I just love these kind of basic fysics things. Thanks a lot for this link. :)

I will print one out later on. As a bonus, the range finder base, between my eyes at least, is longer than on my new R3A! :D

So, my old Zeiss Nettar (9x6cm!) is geting more interesting again...

Now, how to make a incident light meter out of a piece of paper?

An extinction meter? ;)
 
Thanks for these links folks!
The range finder doesn't work well for me cuz of my particular vision problems but the exposure guide will be very handy!
