The lens could be off or the body could be off, or they could both be wrong! Also, the lens has two things to adjust, the accuracy of the cam that pushes against the RF follower in the body, and the shimming of the optics to correct focus. The body has three things that can be off: The distance between the lensmount and the film plane, the infinity setting of the rangefinder, and the close-distance setting of the rangefinder! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-424-0897 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work!
