[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Those familiar with my LUG posts will remember that my trusty Bessa R2a wasn't functioning properly, or at least I believed so: my beloved Summicron 35 was waaaaay out of focus, based on the RF readings. So, assuming the camera took a clop, I sent it back to Rich Pinto for adjustment. He returned it today, noting it was "perfect". Suspiciously, I tried it again, but with a different lens (a 50 Elmar). It indeed was perfect, the RF coincidence and the footage indication on the lens were a perfect match. Same with three other lenses. When I tried it with my 35 Summicron, it was WAAAAY out again. So, is it possible for a Leica lens to go that far out of adjustment? If so, I suppose it's time for a trip to the Krauter spa. Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA
