[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 64373, member: 3903"] Nice article MoJo, When it was written that it is essential to have the camera completely parallel to the wall, there is a real certain way to get that. If you use a mirror taped at the center of your focus chart (you can put it there before you tape the chart to the wall). Then, when you look through the viewfinder and put the mirror in the center of your shot, you should see the lens reflected dead center. There is no way the camera can be angled if the lens sees itself in the dead center of the shot. This is an old trick we used to do when we were doing copying using a 4x5 camera in the "good old days". [/QUOTE]
