Thanks! > >-- >Shel Belinkoff >mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net In the catalogs of the time it was generally called a 'finder attachment' or sometimes 'finder attachment for near focussing range', so no wonder 'bug eyes' or even just 'eyes' evolved. 'Big eyes' refers to the stereo model using two Noctiluxes (very rare). If you focussed that setup too close you got 'Big cross eyes'. * Henning J.
