Jeffery,
You seem to love to make things complicated and very involved... I
guess then when you have solved what was made complicated you can enjoy
the feelings of greater achievement and fulfillment. My simple mind
isn't function in that way. Maybe I'm just lazy and so I look for the
simple solutions for my simple questions... My favorate guru used to
teach to drop the questions, then answers are not required, but since I
haven't dropped questions, I can at least try to simplify them.

My question was about extended focusing scopes... you answered with
jacking up the easel, which sounds to me unnecessarily complicated. I
trust it's possible that there are several solutions, but getting a
used extended grain focusing tool from a ex-5X7 printer seems to be
this lazy mans simplest choice... and has no reflection on what you
would have preferred for a solution.
Anyway, thanks for your permission to get the fancy grain
focuser...even though it sounds a bit condescending and confuses me as
to why it comes off that way... But perhaps such complications are
necessary?? People are different.
Thank you for your comments.
