hiya Ian, welcome to our home away from home.
Stuart, I have a bad feeling it could be the tube itself. Maybe internal reflections or something. I remember the first time I did prime focus shots on film of the moon when it was completely full, I got a bright blue arc appearing just off the side of the moon that seemed to be some kind of reflection. Once I get a colour scanner, I'll post the pic up for everyone to examine. But I will certainly give an update soon.
That a great idea laminating each page. I was having heart palpatations as I turned each page over in the semi-darkness and could feel the pages ripping in my mind. It does need to be delicately handled doesn't it!
Yeah the F2 does have a focus magnifier attachment as well called the DW-2 6x which is supposedly brighter than the varimagni finder. The OM-1 doesn't have a removable pentaprism either - the finder attaches to the camera's eyepiece I should have said. I would love to have a nikon F2 as well
