I've tried every which way to fix it. The only thing that helps is to put a piece of Scotch tape on the cam follower. Black tape is too thick. I suspect that maybe it needs a very thin shim up inside somewhere. That's beyond me. I don't like the lens enough to have it collimated. (Too hard to frame with the M4 or Tewe finder.)
