Hi Justin,

My tester is arlar Texereau. I just hold my el-cheapo digital camera up to the tester and watch the screen and take the photo.

The image on the left is a 10"f6 that has terrible roughness due to a hard (cold) pitch tool taken in June. I just couldn't get the tool to behave. The image on the right is of the same optic from the same tool but used in December. That means warmer and softer pitch.

Regards
