    Re: Alternatives to seamless "paper"

    Have a look at a material called Translum, made by Savage. It's a translucent plastic, about twice as thick as a shower curtain. Easy to cut, cleanable. I really prefer it over paper.

    Yeah, it's easy enough to remove the top and get access to both horizontal & vertical rangefinder adjustment screws. Only the horizontal one is reachable through the rubber cap. These...

    Update 2:
    I just processed the second sheet. It's a considerable improvement over the first but still not what you'd describe as crisp focus at 100m.
