What this means is that if you mount a 50mm lens for example, the cams that do the focusing are not the right shape and will not keep the image in focus. If the lens is not the problem, you need to make the adjustment for the thickness of the enlarger easel as Tina had given you directions for. If this does not fix it, call Leica and see if they can tell you how to set it up. I have read on the news list about there being adjustments on this enlarger regarding the cams that are set at the factory. If somebody has buggered this up, Leica must have the procedure for setting it back to factory specs.
