NO ARCHIVE -- >> I have recently performed live tests on a 90 / 2.8 Tele-Elmarit and things were focused equally before and after the target . This is normal to me . That's what the depth of field scale shows on the lens itself . I performed the test at the closest distance and full aperture . Did you shoot at infinity or short distance ? If you shot at close distance I think either your lens , or more likely your rangefinder is off calibration . JO GOODTIMES -FRANCE/ AIRBORNE RADAR TECH / LIVE FREE OR DIE
