Then focus it and it should stay in focus as you go up and down. It will probably not work over wide ranges like 4X5 to 16X20. Although it is leica, do not expect perfection, and fine tune the focus if in doubt. Mine works fine and stays in focus once I set the correct easel height. The focus knob has a set screw that you tighten once it is focused properly. This setting will differ between the slide carrier and the negative carrier. BTW, the autofocus only works properly with the 40mm Leica lens. If you didn't get the lens, the enlarger was not that great of a deal. On a cautious note, get a spare bulb now. Mine burnt out Sunday and is unobtainable and requires a retrofit kit from Leica to use a newer style bulb. The Phillips 6604 is the discontinued bulb and was replace with a new mounting and a Phillips 13139. I was still able to make my Ilfochrome prints, but had to use an old Vivitar colour head enlarger.
