I hope I can be helpful but being non autofocused, non digital. I thought that for models of slotcars, except maybe for racing you would be in control of your environment most of the time.
With my eyesight the way it is varifocal glasses. Even having an LCD screen would not be a total solution. On my T90 and F1 I have the old fashion technology of swivel right angle finders and speedfinders. If I am photographying a static model indoors I use a tripod to get down to waist level. The obvious accessory would be a waist level finder as this generally magnifies the image.
Incidentially, I have found, that because LCD are not close up to the photographer. Many times when I am out photographing cars (i.e. Goodwood Festival of Speed) digital photographers walk straight in front of you concentrating on their screen (i.e. like a mobile phone user) without any regard for the photographers behind them taking pictures. Also they seem to take up more space just to use the LCD. As for slide film thats fine it's the prints off them that are getting more expensive. Due to Digital coming in prints from a slide 6x4 have gone up from 60p to £ 1.50 each. Or my camera shop does a deal 4 for £4. Films not dead yet. But will prints from slides go the same way as Black & white printing? I have seen superb defination digital photos posted on the web. But as they say if aint broke don't fix it. So I'II stick with film for now.
