I thought about it all night afterwards and went back in the morning and bought it back for the trade in price. I wasn't about to let a little thing like back focus deny me the joy of using this wonderful tool. I then spent the next 8 hours adjusting my M8 rangefinder and testing every lens I owned after each adjustment to make sure everything was still good. It messed up the focus of my 135mm APO and 90mm AA but I didn't care. After a year I finally sent the lens to DAG for adjustment and realigned the M8 back to nominal. After that I regret selling my Hassy 500C and 3 lenses. Then my 1st Rollei T. I eventually replaced the Hassy and Rollei years later. Now I don't sell anything. It's too stressful.
