I have been playing with a sticky back add-on for the
Sputnik focussing ring. I wonder what idiot ever came
up with the idea of making the distance increments the
same as f-stops. Anyway, when I am done I will have some
kind of file; PDF, eps, tif, whatever that you could 
run out on an Avery of Fasson sticky back mailing label.
The English distance scale would stick right between the 
knurled knob on the viewfinder focussing ring and the 
black focussing scale housing that is part of the main
camera body, the one that has the 7/16" wide slot with
the little V-shaped point. The DOF scale would go on 
either side of the 7/16" slot or perhaps on the front
of the camera below the Sputnik name. More to follow...
