Watameter !

[Oldbones]

Watameter !
Just bought one to go with my Kershaw 630, it appears to work, it still needs to be calibrated but its not far off.
Will it help me, well I don't know.
Do any of you fellows use of have used one ?

1. Mount the Watameter in the camera’s accessory shoe (if your camera has one).
2. Look through the Watameter eyepiece.
   You’ll see a double image or split image of your subject.
3. Turn the focusing wheel on the Watameter until the two images line up into one clear image.
4. Read the distance scale shown on the Watameter.
   It might read in feet or metres.
5. Set the same distance on your camera lens focus scale.
6. Take the photo.

You could sell that to the science museum, it will be ancient. I have never heard them even being mentioned at least since the turn of this century. So long as it is accurate it is well worth hanging on to. Anything old and as well made as these were can be relied upon, probably more so than AF in cameras.
