You can't beat the military for optics. But, I'm confused with the comment about parallax correction. With a view camera, as with a single lens reflex, no parallax correction is required. What you see is what you get unless there is barrel distortion or edge fall off. Now if we're talking a range finder camera or a twin lens, thats a different story.
