Dick,

Thanks for your comments, and to others who
replied.  

I made a mistake when framing #10. There is a
problem with the CV 15mm finder in that it shows
more than the lens coverage.  There are no bright
lines.  

I subsequently masked the finder with black tape
to make the coverage equal to, or very slightly
less than, the actual coverage of the lens - not
an easy job, as the finder has bad barrel
distortion.   Since I did this, my 15mm framing
mistakes have not been eliminated, but are fewer
and farther between. 

But a bad workman tends to blame his equipment.

Thanks again,

Colin
