I was thinking about a way to make hand-held shooting with my Linhof Technika more convenient.
Switching between the universal finder and the rangefinder eyepiece seemed imprecise and kind of slow while hand-holding. And since I was also thinking about focusing in the dark and whether a laser pointer might help there I combined the two thoughts and soon stumbled upon prior art: previously, previously, previously, previously, and in particular previously
Since my Tech V doesn’t have the Kalart Focuspot port, the laser beam had to go into the eyepiece of the RF. So looking at laser pointers it was clear it would stick out, making it clumsy and probably hard to mount.
So I got the shortest one I could find on Amazon, the Zweibrueder LED lenser Laser V9 (13 EUR "used").
And I got two beams alright
But how to mount the 10mm laser pointer "pen" onto this 18mm wide "cup"?
It seemed awkward and would require something purpose-built to get axial alignment with the RF spot
