How far away should the yardstick be? What will be the indication of back- or

it doesn't have to be that far, but the farther away, the more precisely it will measure, 
and a large aperture (shallow depth of field) helps; if the viewfinder shows you've 
focused on 18", but the resulting image has 16" in best focus, you'll know that 
the viewfinder is not accurate

Thanks, Steve. I check it out -- probably not till tomorrow afternoon.

Followup question regarding "correctability": If necessary, approximately what 
would it cost to get it done?

someone else will have to answer that, just sharing received knowledge
