That is correct.  You can also make minor adjustments in the focus which
should be done with a piece of photo paper of the thickness you plan to use
under your magnasight.  Once done the AF will hold that relationship.

Subject: [Leica] Leitz V35 query....


I notice that a few of you out there have V35 enlargers.
I have a question that I want to get cleared up! It seems that the index on
the column is for adjusting the overall height of the column to account for
the thickness of the enlarging easel, or whatever holds the paper.
I had assumed that if my enlarging easel was 15mm high, then I would crank
the column up the same 15mm, and the autofocus would be correct at all
points in the range of enlargement sizes.
This seems to be the case as a magnasight examination of the image at all
magnifications 'seems' to be in correct focus.... I just want to make sure
that I am not labouring under a misconception.
Thanks for any input about this!
