Subject: A question of focus for wide modified TL-120.Date: 2011-03-22 11:28:31From: David Richardson
In the discussion of the wide modified tri-lensed cameras, one seems to remember the mention of lenses being individually focused. Is this truly so? If not being focused via the viewing lens, one presumes having to place a ground glass plate at the prime focus point and focus each lens with the help of a lupe of some kind?
Just trying to wrap ones mind around how a user would get focusing done if the top lens isn't the guiding optic of such a optics suite. Going back to a dark focus cloth (as we all did for large format work) seems so ponderously slow as to be not likely these days.
Clearly I'm missing something in this limited production stereo array. Someone please help this clueless 3D fan understand this variation of TL-120.
Thanks
