I always thought the Zenit Photosniper set up was cool. But you could never use that in public nowadays!

I got one of these about a month ago off ebay. Accurate to 2mm, measures in mm, m, inches, feet, area, multiple points etc. 165 foot range - wasn't planning on hitting eyes with it, but just getting an accurate distance for my folding cameras - since my eyes aren't so good, and even worse for depth perception. I've only one camera left to collimate - then all lens markings should be accurate. Oh yeah - these are for the building trades, but work just fine for photography.

Sarcasm? Or are you serious about pointing a red laser straight at eyes?

Well just to be clear before the authorities show up at my door, I'm not about to blind anyone with a laser.

Two questions..
1. Is it good for nailing someone in their peepers?
And
b. How do you aim it?
Oh and B part 2. How much? The meter one w the laser beam is $160-ish.

#1 - Probably, but I won't be doing it. b) - Like a TV remote. You can see the red dot on the object/person you are aiming at.
#2 - $18 on ebay.
For me the most important range is mfd to about 50 feet. Once a lens is collimated I can be certain of infinity, and that the lens engravings represent accurate increments of intervening distances.

I've though about buying a Lowes laser measuring thingy and shooting a Minox this way. But then I discovered the point and shoot thread.

I could see doing the laser pointer thing if I was shooting larger format, but for a 35mm compact camera it just defeats the purpose of traveling small, light and fast.
