Help getting started with an Imagon 300

[Bob Salomon]

Yes, both disks are marked f300

Good!

I am. New fake lens tomorrow with my second eye cataract surgery.

As I have a 360 Imagon I'm going to try Bob's flashlight advice when I regain my sight...

Better get new glasses. ;-) I have pin hole lens glasses. ;-)

The flashlight advice is pretty standard focusing procedure in the film industry for Asst. Cameramen. It works!

I have used a flashlight but the key to the Imagon that Bob revealed is 'The easiest way to focus is to look at a spectral at the point you want to focus to form a cross....and place a flashlight there.'

And I shoot alone.

I have been on movie sets, the amount of helpers is amazing. Occasionally I shoot DSLR on set. Autofocus has been good for me when it works...

I hope when the eyes settle down, maybe I will be better able to focus.

Already one eye has it's yellow filter removed and that was a color revelation. White is white!

Hey Randy, I'm sure you look forward to the new lens "cleaning." I hope all is well. :-)

Thanks. I'm a bit nervous.
