[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 113408, member: 5418"] Ian, I managed to get to an elevated spot in a mall parking lot and rested the Nikon 800 on the little wall (after adjusting the unit to "yards"). It was clear and sunny. A large light coloured 4 storey building fairly square to my position went 846. A few others went around 600. Some trees with lots of light green foliage (almost like a lime green colour) went 600 to 630. Darker trees ranged inconsistently, if at all. What's the deal on ranging off people? I'll be able to get you some feedback way sooner - there are more people than cattle in JHB. I know these things are apparently "eye-safe", but I'm not sure I'd like the idea of being "ranged"..... (particulalry by traffic officers!!). And I've never seen anyone here refer to having ranged his neibour at X yards. It seems that the diffences with ranging are more subtle than I could ever have thought - with regard to angle, shape, colour etc. with similar looking ad signs seemingly next to each other giving totally different results. One may range consistently, the other not at all. Maybe I should ask someone like you who knows far more than me to explain it better so I know what to reasonably expect in a separate thread.
