i taped a piece of transparent plastic on the film gate as the
ground glass. some Scotch tape was put on the lens side of it. |
|
the four set screws ont the focusing ring were loosened, and bcaked up
the ring a bit, then re-tightened them. this was to ensure the helicoid
would be able to reach the infinity point, without being blocked by the
infinity stop before that point. |
|
after getting a clear image of a distant roof on the groundglass,
i loosened the four set screws again, turned the focusing ring all the
way to the infinity stop, and re-tighten them. focusing at 3 ft. was
very close, if not right on. | |
