JHAG Posted March 20, 2008 Share #43 Posted March 20, 2008 Freaking COLD. You're Welcome I'll bring some chocolate from Switzerland… So, my best compromise, with all 3 lenses and your chart (which I much prefer to the D70's : - a slight frontfocus fully open (around the first "Leica" in front of the midline) - a very slight back focus (in between the midline and the first "Leica" after that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod99 Posted March 20, 2008 Share #44 Posted March 20, 2008 Not really a back-focus problem, more a front-focus one. I have an M8 and started with the 24mm Elmarit (which is superb). Then decided to buy a 50 cron (second hand, can't really afford a new one). All second-hand crons available are pre-aspherical (and so inevitably "film" lenses). The thing is, I have so far tried 4 different lenses and NONE would focus at infinity - when set at infinity all focused at some point nearer the camera. I have since tried other focal lengths and have been surprised at how many (even new asphericals) don't focus to infinity. I think I am becoming anal in this regard. I would advise anyone with an M8 buying a new or secondhand lens to try it at infinity before handing over your hard earned cash! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod99 Posted March 20, 2008 Share #45 Posted March 20, 2008 Regarding above post. I forgot to say that at first I thought it was the camera, so it went back to Solms. When it came back they say that they had only tweeked the focusing cam. This now maks sense, as the 24mm is bang-on focus at infinity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
