Re: VM 12X Focusing Viewer

[P3D <norml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I happen to be a proud owner of the Dukes Design VM viewer.

When you first put your favorite reel in it, you will be
disappointed because it exposes every focusing and mounting
flaw.

But with a good reel (My copy of Jamie's Mandate of Heaven,
for example) it is spectacular.

After experimenting, I find it works best without my glasses
so that I can get as close to the lenses as possible.

The body of the viewer is a Meopta. John has fitted a metal
lens board to it with the triplet lenses in screw mounts with
lock nuts.

A fine piece of work. I reccommend it.
