Ah, that's a useful comparison -- I have a 24, so I can just put that on
there and imagine what it would get me.

So it'll shift about half the frame up/down. That makes sense -- I guess I
could have worked that out if I'd looked on the esif first, sorry.

I'm having trouble thinking of times I'd use it as I sit here and type, but
I'm sure that as soon as I was out shooting it would become a lot more
useful. Hmm, one more for the list of wants, I suppose.
