From Bill Jenkin

I’ve been trying to find a place to put this – the large version is full size, with over 10000 pixels in the long axis. I’ve had to turn it sideways to fit, so if you were planning to use it, rotate through 90 degrees anti-clockwise.

Bill explains – “A lens angle line up strip devised by Peter Grainger in 1968, and modified by Mike Minchin in 1970 (to cater for “K” lenses) – EMI 2001 we are talking about here.
If you are too old / young to remember it was for lining up the ‘shot box’ buttons to correspond to the old turret lens angles.
You could also check your 50° and 5.5° ends of the zoom.”
