[Rollei] True focal length

["keller.schaefer" <keller.schaefer]

Has anybody successfully tried to find out the true focal length of a lens
by measuring object size, object distance and image size on the film and
calculate from there? At first sight, even if I take into account
considerable misreading I would still arrive at the true value plus or minus
one millimeter. Am I missing something? I AM missing an Autocollimator,
obviously.

I have some lenses where I doubt what the engraving says is true. I always
thought this would be marginal, but now I have a 85 mm lens that is actually
'longer' than a 90...
