[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm curious: does anyone out there in LUGland own a current production 35/1.4 asph or 50/2 M lens whose focus ring does NOT twist a few millimeters beyond the 0.7 m minimum focus distance mark on the lens barrel? I'm told by another listmember that his .72x M6 classic's rangefinder decouples for that last little twist, and a repair person told him that was normal behavior. My .72x M6 TTL remains engaged and focuses accurately all the way down to the .645 meters actual min. focus distance for both of these lenses (yet my Hexar RF also decouples at a little past the .7 m mark). Anyone else have this experience with an M6--classic or otherwise? Or do I (and this other lister) have oddball lenses because they focus closer than spec? Dan
