Likewise, the closest focus which is 28" actually aligns at > approximately 26" distance. My rangefinder is not at fault, it aligns > correctly with all other lenses I have. When the focus ring is fully swung > towards infinity, I can see that vertical lines are broken slightly in the > RF, and at close focus the focus ring passes the 28" mark to where it will > align with the f/4 hash mark to the right of the 2.8 mark. What gives?
