Backfocus (?) on my 35 'lux-a

I posted the other day

about an evening spent with Robert Eather, who plans to build a camera to photograph the aurora borealis from the Space Station.

 

Tonite, I revisited to measure the 50 'lux-a a second time. He checked the infinity focus on my lenses for me and it turns out that the 35 'lux-a is out of focus at infinity. He asked me if I noticed it in comparison with the 50 and 75 shots. My answer was that I rarely shoot the 35 at infinity. Usually it's at 20' or less.

 

I guess it's got to go for adjustment. Does realignment only happen in Solms? Is there a technician in the US who can do this?

 

I'll be posting the measurements for my 3 'lux's as soon as Robert sends them.

Thanks, Good B, I'll contact DAG first, since they keep getting high marks here.
