Sighting: Most of the subjects shot with a
high-powered
telephoto lens are at great
distances
from the camera and are often dif-
ficult
to bring into the limited angle of view of
these lenses. Longer 67 telephotos are
equipped
with a sight, such as the one pictured
below, built onto the top of the lens barrel.
Using the
sight to locate distant subjects is
much easier than trying to sight them directly
with the viewfinder.
To use the sight , simply aim the lens at the
subject
as if you were pointing a rifle at a
target and place the subject in the sight. Then,
proceed by centering the subject in the finder.
The
sight is also useful for picking out moving
