Subject: [Leica] Focus Calibration
From: "Frank Filippone" <red735i@worldnet.att.net>

For a RF camera, if the Slides look a bit out of focus using a variety of
lenses, we can assume the body RF is out of RF focus calibration. 
Especially if the same film, same lenses different body produces
substantially more in-focus images.......How is the adjustment done to
correct this?

There are 2 parts to this question, first the camera adjusting screw(s) and
then second methodology.....

Cameras are M3, M4P, and M6.  Where is the adjusting screw(s)?

Methodology: What do you use as a correct measurement of distance to the
subject to calibrate the body against?  An inserted focal plane ground
glass?   Are there any technician types out there that can answer this
question?
