Ken's right - If my math is correct, if you multiply the length of the base by the tangent of the angle, you'll have the height. On 1/30/2016 12:07 PM, Ken Waller wrote: Collin, if I read you correctly, you can use the tangent function to find the height. The tangent of the angle equals the

Baboons for sure. They live on a kopje on the other side of the road and the local rubbish dump is about 1km away. Mind you, baboons are very adept at scaling security fences, even with razor wire toppings so this low barbed wire fence would be a doddle. Alan C -Original Message-

The 16-45 I liked very much but it failed suddenly to zoom beyond around 28 and I replaced it with a Tamron 17-50/2.8 as an all-round zoom. But a few weeks ago, after about 5 years use of the Tamron lens, I felt with my bag and now the Tamron lens has a zoom problem. I didn't hesitate to buy a

Thanks, Christine. The image was taken with the original Optio, which does not produce the same quality as the better current DSLRs, and I processed it quickly in Photoshop, using the automatic Smartfix. Just as an exercise, I went back to the original file and processed it a bit more carefully:

I would like to figure out how to use the monocular. Can't find instructions anywhere. It has a 4-division reticle inside with each division having 10 divisions. It appears that these may represent angles, with the outside edges being the full 6.2 degrees. But I could be wrong on that. For a
