Sorry, I didn't reference the LULA article on T/S.

That was John MacLean.

When I acquired my 24TSE three years ago, I posted an image on Naturescapes (I had been trying to use tables).  I received a reply from Royce Howland (one of the Naturescapes editors), and adopted the method.

No tables, no tape measures, just LV and focusing.  It's so dumb-a$$ simple it still amazes me.

Well, whatever works for the individual, I guess. I think the table method is dumb ass simple. I tried iterative methods for years. Sometimes it worked fine in a few minutes, but often it took a half hour or more for a single shot. With a simple chart and a measurement, I get it right the first time, usually, unless I look in the wrong focal length column.
