I've printed it and hung it on the wall. The core of what I was interested in I've left here in your quote about having to adjust the far AFTER adjusting the near. I've gotten up the nerve to tweak the far (front screw) as needed but I don't know how long it will take be to get the nerve to do the near. I'm wondering if I had inadvertently moved the near at one point. I might bring it in for a once over by our Leica guy who seems to be still at it Bill Crispien in Portland ORegon where I am as you know. Mark Rabiner
