TheEyesHaveIt Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share #61 Posted July 27, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) So as an update, turns out I'm blind. Got a pair of glasses and tried to nail focus at f1.4 with and without them and the results have been pretty revealing. RF seems totally fine in terms of alignment - just my eyes were not I consistently got these results over multiple shots (and certainly the RF patch is easier to see sharply now). Sigh...the joys of aging. I've found I rarely wear the glasses (mostly for reading), but I suppose I can get a +1.0 diopter for the viewfinder? I have a very low prescription at the moment. Focusing on the Moog logo - without glasses at f1.4 with the 35mm. Welcome, dear visitor!

They are easy to test either through a dealer or using trial diopters from your local optician. Jeff Edited July 27, 2023 by Jeff S 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It takes a hefty blow or tooh-jarring vibration to get it out of calibration. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
