I know that I can move the focusing tab to all the way on top of the lens. When i focus, with and without the eyes, the image is aligned in viewfinder at closest distance at 1m and that is where my focusing tab on the lens are all the way at it end. thank you for reply Olivier >From: P2CON@aol.com >Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >Subject: Re: [Leica] need information on my leica 35mm f2.8 bulleyes >Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 21:00:41 EDT > >Oliver writes: ><<Snip>><< I try to > measure the distance of .65meter and see it focus, I never get it close >to > it. matter of fact, the closeet distance i can focus is 1.2 meter or 1 > meter.
