Perceval Posted July 9, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have acquired an excellent example of the 90mm f4 Elmar-C lens. Curiously, however, the white spot against which one sets the aperture is offset some 80 degrees in a an anti-clockwise direction. (To the left when viewed from the front). A local repairer told me this was normal for that type of lens but I am not so sure since I have seen another example of this lens with the aperture setting spot in the conventional position. Can anyone shed light on the matter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted July 9, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2011 It is NOT normal : the white dot is normally aligned with the focus index, i.e., at 12 o'clock; this doesn't neccesarly mean that your lens doesn't work properly, but it has been surely maintained with no much care: I'd say you ought to arrange a professionaly made revision with the dealer.
