Subject: [Leica] Jupiter 8 focusing problem

Peter Klein was asking about focusing problems with the Jupiter 8 and I just 
remembered a trick I've used in the past.  If the lens is focusing beyond 
infinity you can place a small strip of cellophane tape (or similar) on the 
LTM-M adaptor before screwing on the Jupiter.  This might shim the lens 
enough to correct the problem.  If not you could try thicker tape.  Might 
not work for you, but it would cost nothing to try.  And you could still use 
the J8 on the Zorki.
