Hi guys,
I’m new to the forum, and lasers in general. I’m trying to research out a purchase of a laser and found your site, which seems like the perfect place to get educated. I’ve been reading previous posts and searching but can’t really find the answer to my question. I’m hoping or more of you are willing to help me out with your opinion if you don’t have first hand knowledge to my question(s).
I’m a landscape photographer who’s recently gotten into shooting at night, where focus has become an issue. The main thing I’m trying to figure out is what is the approximate maximum distance of a 5mW green laser for me to be able to focus on. I realize that you guys may not be photographers, so what is the maximum distance the beam can be seen? A couple miles or just a few thousand feet? I’d really prefer to keep the power down for safety reasons if it’s powerful enough to satisfy my needs.
