I have an issue where the alignment with the 50mm appears to be okay - or just a smudge off - but with the 90, it's noticeable not aligning, eg the lens hits infinity and stops turning but the two images are not fully aligned. My assumption is to check the rf alignment and that the 90mm is okay. Harland On Tuesday, April 22, 2003, at 05:05 PM, John Collier wrote: > That is a good question.
