I was playing with the manual focus last evening, with two cameras at my disposition.
This is the result.
Our weimaraner Cleo napping at the top of the steps next to my great grandfather's steamer trunk. The story goes that my great grandfather brought all his earthly belongings over from County Cork, Ireland near the end of the "Great Hunger". He ended up in Pittsburgh working for the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad, he eventually worked his way up to the position of Yard Master. He later worked for the Atlantic Richfield Refinery in Lawrenceville, PA. My grandmother gave me his truck in 1977.

I think this is what Eke was talking about at Züriflickrdrinks #40 - using another camera to take shots through the viewfinder of the Kodak Duaflex II. I used my Canon G7 in macro mode. Googling shows that it's best to use a tube to connect the two cameras, to block out external light and maintain the distance. Until I've made that, it's handheld and a bit hit and miss :-)

Thanks ZFD admins, that was a great idea for a prize!!
Bought this for 10USD. Everything works, but the camera is missing lots of its 1949 leather. Easy to fix. Planning on re-skinning with something colorful like orange. I'll reshoot when done.
The object on top of the camera is a small accessory rangefinder.
To be mounted on the accessory shoe . 2 models : one with hot shoe contact on top and bottom (on the left) , and one with a simple accessory foot .

Since starting Project 365, looking through a viewfinder has become second nature. I'm starting to get "it".
I'm going to be using this in a cool video project I have coming up. I needed to recreate the view you have while shooting so this is my template. Its a K10D viewfinder minus the acutal image (which I will add later). If you want to use this in a project just let me know and I can get you the full size image.
