Ghetto autocollimator. Say that ten times fast.

Ghetto autocollimator. Say that ten times fast.

I had some projetors and junk laying about and couldn't get a hold of my autocollimator. This works great!

The image comes out of the projector carefully focused to infinity. if the lens is correct, it focuses the infinity image to the film. Being illuminated, you can look in the camera, and see the image on the film using the viewing camera and half silvered mirror in the middle.

Yes. That really is a piece of toilet paper tube.

Yes. that is supposed to be funny.
