When I focus with the RF, what I focus on is sharp on the film. Even at f/1.4 (35, 50, & 75). Unless you carry a tape measure, your guesstimate (when guesstimate focusing) won't be better than a foot or two either way anyway. The bottom line is... when focused via RF, is it sharp on film. If not, then have it fixed. Otherwise ignore it. Jim > >> From: "Dale R.
