There is a SECOND eccentric screw on the RF cam-follower arm. This can be adjusted for close-focus if a situation like this develops -- in-focus at one distance, out-of-focus at another. Per Ken Ruth at Bald Mountain, this is a fairly rare situation. If John Van Stelten is around, his comments would be welcome!
