BioShock Infinite Sightseer Guide - Telescopes and Kinetoscopes Locations Guide
Finding and using all 30 kinetoscopes and 7 telescopes awards you the Sightseer achievement / trophy.
Notes:
1. You can go back to find collectibles you missed from the main menu's chapter select (but trigger an auto save before quitting).
2. Some Kinetoscopes are repeated in the game. If you use one you've already watched, it will not count.
