The work-around has already been given on the LUG, but to re-iterate: First, wait for the negative to "pop" if you are not using a two-glass carrier. (Slides seem more subject to popping, especially Kodachromes.) Second, use a grain focuser and focus wide-open. Third, stop down to the working aperture and check the focus. That should do it. I a 40mm Focatar on my V-35 and Apo-Rodagons on my Beseler 23C, and almost never have a focusing problem. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir! NEW FAX NUMBER: +540-343-8505
