I made a one ,
Copied and pasted from other forum
>>>>>I applied my x hair repair methods to a 40mm Vixen EP, a wanted a better way of framing objects with visible stars or features...Using this 40 mm in daylight I noticed that the butt end of the chrome barrel bit was in clear focus and chrome, cheap nasty piece of work, but OK optically.. I thought since I dont use it for anything other than a paperweight it might make a good framing reticle with the right x hairs...
The procedure is simple
Find a bit of polystyrene foam about an inch thick.
Cut a hole in it big enough for the barrel bit that you have unscrewed from the EP to fit through,
puch 4 pins into the foam at quadrants,
Wrap the thinest wire you can find around the pins in such a way you have double xhairs framing a tiny square in the middle. Dont worry about getting the wires striaght and tight at this piont,
The wire in earbuds is very fine, or you can use the fibre strengthening fibre, either or...
put the barrel bit upside down on the table,
and drop the hole over the barrel bit
the weight will straighten the wires and make them even and taught.
brush on super glue where the wires cross the back of the barrel bit
Wait till dry
Snip jig loose with pair of sharp scissors...
re assemble..
I found that the square frame in the 40mm on the 100mm is roughly equal to the image size of the 14er and the 350...
Paint the chrome bit black will your in there, it works well....
