Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | W2 - you forgot Hizzoner in your list. I am mighty impressed with the Intellituner. Martin Taylor said it's the best he's ever used. I can see why. My Seiko needle tuner is just as accurate, but no cables, no background noise distraction and always there when you want it. It is such a clever invention. | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | I meant Intellitouch. Varifocal lenses require something a tad furhter away than right under my nose - clamped on the headstock is fine by me. | ||
