That looks good. I may try that. I went to a local antique camera store
this week, but they had nothing really functioning. Actually, I was looking
for an SLR body with removable lens, focal plane shutter. They did have
some cameras like you show here. I may go back.

Let me ask a clarifying question on zone plate focus.

Once you have the zone plate focused for one object, will it be focused for
any other objects closer or further away, or do I need to refocus according
to the distance of my subject?
