I got great use out of this thing when shooting my Horseman SW612 system. I also used this with my rollei35. Its reasonably accurate, i put distance marks for 3/2ft in marker that can easily be removed with some alcohol.

If you put your own calibrated distance scale on the dial, it would no longer be faulty..
