[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I haven't had a DR in a number of years but I think this is how to get the lens out of the close focus position. With the lens in close focus mode, rotate the lens to the right until it stops against the center tab. Pull the focus ring toward you gently until it clears the tab and then rotate to the right and release on other right side of the tab. The viewing element can now be removed and the lens should focus in the normal mode. ----- Ed Kowaleski Original Message ----- From: "Ted Bayer" <tedbayer@harbornet.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 3:02 PM Subject: Re: Provia 100F or K64?
