The seller claims perfect focus. Seeing that Alpa wants you to shim the back with 0.1mm shims, not sure how much I would give credence to the claim, but be that as it may... There is now or will be a "flood" (compare to a slight trickle) of used MF digital back coming on to the 2nd hand market, partially because of the D800 revolution... ...and we know that a lot of R lens can cover greater than 135 image circle (i.e. some can even cover the S2 image circle)... ... so all we need is someone with a hack saw and good welding skill to put a V mount on a R6.2 and voila, instant R solution. Anyone with a R6.2 and a hack saw? :-) -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com>
