I did notice I was finally able to see the image separation I was used to with the 50mm. It's not nearly as distinct but it's there.

What a wonderful experience it has been learning about these cameras! Thanks!

Enrique,

I see that our posts crossed. By rangefinder images coinciding at infinity I mean exactly that - when you set the lens' focusing mount to infinity, do the rangefinder images become one?

And if they do, is the picture of an object at infinity sharp? The lens you use has no effect on the rangefinder separation (or distinction between the two images).

Best,

Jan
