tested all four lenses (28, 35, 50, 75) on two bodies and found that each
lens focuses at a dfferent point on each body and in no case does the focus
hit the mark intended by the rangefinder. So neither body is currently set
correctly. Nor are any of the lenses. So everythingıs off to Don Goldberg.
