When I first started selling these cubes I had requests for photographers to make cubes with hash marks showing both metric and English measurements. They have been using quarters in their pictures and wanted something much nicer to use. These have no N W S E B and T marks.

I have also had geologists request a 2cm and 5cm version. these will still have N W S E T and B. They will also have hash marks showing small metric scales in addition. Thee cubes would be used for general geology purposes for field shots.
