Buildings in the distance align in the rangefinder when the f/2.8 focal indicator on the focus ring lines up with the left edge of the infinity symbol. Likewise, the closest focus which is 28" actually aligns at approximately 26" distance. My rangefinder is not at fault, it aligns correctly with all other lenses I have. When the focus ring is fully swung towards infinity, I can see that vertical lines are broken slightly in the RF, and at close focus the focus ring passes the 28" mark to where it will align with the f/4 hash mark to the right of the 2.8 mark. What gives? What am I to trust, the lens markings, or the RF image or should I take this lens back and get it checked? Andy - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
