i got a little cheap lcd screen from china via e-bay and it looks incredibly offensive but it is the buiseness. just use any 12v battery i have in the car.

Hi Guys

I was looking to buy a focus meter and am wondering if they are any good.

Given how they work I am sure they will be, and they should work better than a test monitor....

What's your opinion?!?!

I have a similar question but slightly different,

with these focus meters will the degree of focus be tight enough so when a C/BW camera drops to BW at a low lux level will the camera still be in focus?

I use a test monitor but have been caught out by the focus being slightly out and so the camera at night is out of focus?

(note to self go and buy some welding lens) :)

Lens filter kit or cheap option welding glass as said, if the lens is the electronic shutter type then sometimes they do appear slightly out at night noticed on the vista's anyway..... really no loving the focus meters, so stick with the tried and tested guys works everytime.
