I am looking for a combination ruler [that is or includes metric] and color bar to include in photographs of man and animal tracks. So far I can find them only separate.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I couldn't find one on this site http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=color+chart+ruler&N=4293918168 they are one of if not the biggest photo retailer globally. I would give them a ring. They have a great reputation. No affiliation other than being a happy customer of theirs

Try a geological or archeological supply house, I have seen them, although B&W ones predominate. My small one has a N arrow and cm scales. I bought it from Miners (usual disclamer) www.minerox.com. I would expect that forensic suppliers would have them, but I have only seen them in kits with several in different colors.

The best,

Jerry

Try http://www.sirchie.com/Assets/Cat_10_11/scalesPhotography9.pdf and look for the PIC001 and 002. Unfortunately small for your purpose, but does have both.

Is this something like what you're looking for?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/286652-REG/QP_Card_GQP201.html

They are closed on holiday this week, but as mentioned before they are a top notch company.

dweste,

Hopefully it includes the software. Makes the price more reasonable. Thanks KenK, I have ordered one.

Thanks,
