Message: <blockquote data-quote="brocknroller" data-source="post: 1649599" data-attributes="member: 665">Ron,Now this is a practical idea. I like it. You can keep the card in your wallet. Given that most of my bins have very wide sweet spots, when initially setting my IPD or resetting it after Steve has messed it up with his wide set eyes <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />, I use a much cruder method of moving the IPD until the views look the brightest. This seems to work fine for my porros, but for roofs, I find I need to be more precise to minimize CA, and some roofs either don't have IPD settings or like the LX, have them underneath the bin, which is not easy to see, so the "card trick" would work better. Thanks. While I am a wanderer, and enjoy meandering threads since they often lead to more interesting discussions than the OP, I have to agree with Henry in this instance that moving this section of the thread to a new thread would be helpful for future reference. I've searched both CN and BF for various topics and found it more difficult to find what I'm looking for when those topics are "buried" in a thread with an unrelated heading.Or ask oleaf if he wouldn't mind if you moved your posts and those related to his thread since it already has an appropriate heading. I think somebody mentioned this idea earlier, but I can't remember who. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
