[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Tristan, I'm using an M3 DS with different screwmount lenses and the double images are all slightly different when focused at infinity (i.e. I see a REAL double image not only a slightly blurred image.) I adjusted the rangefinder for my fastest lens (2/5cm Summitar) until I saw a clear image when focused at infinity. The adjustment does not exactly fit the other two lenses - I clearly see two images (4/9cm Elmar and 2.8/3.5cm Rodenstock). However, the pictures appear o be sharp, even when I shoot 'wide open' (-;.
