Is this correct?

In "straight " RF mode the lens back focuses......
Using a Visoflex, focus is correct....

Back focus = the focus "tube" is too short (?) making the focal plane at
infinity behind the sensor plane?

Did I get all the conditions right?

Works beautifully with the Viso III.
Severe back focus without it.
