Doug, I suspect you have a misaligned mirror or, more likely, ground glass. I have had such problem with Nikon mirror once (it had been dropped) and it is a common fault with the Pentax 6x7. One posibility is to mount camera on tripod, open back, focus via finder on something close and easy to focus. Then use a small piece of thin tissue paper or velum on the film plane to focus. They should agree. If not, off to repair shop. Donal Philby San Diego
