George...

          For SLR's this work fine, but I forgot to mention my M7's are
rangfinders.  That is why I suggested shining a light through the lens on to
a wall?   About how accurate should they be.. say one camera should not be
more than 3 deg. off from the other? If so, that is easy to eyeball... I was
trying to be more accurate than that..

       Thanks for the explanation of convergence.
