Since I do not have a manual, nor have I ever used this camera before, is there a micro adjustment I can make? It seems to me that for the most part I will be focusing to infinity (scenery shots).
If I focus on something closer it appears to focus 100% but if it doesnt focus precisely when going to infinity - will the camera be actually 100% in focus when I focus on something closer? (confusing myself here lol!)
I havent developed that one sheet yet since I didnt have any fixer mixed (do now though) so I dont know if the finale image is actually in focus or not. I'm just going with what I see looking through the g/g and the r/f.
If anyone knows of a adjustment, please share with me (a photo would be perfect too)! I loved the experience of finally using that camera except for the focus part...Id hate to be turned off from this camera esp after the initial purchase of the camera, purchase of 2 boxes of film (25 sheets each), and some film holders.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Derek
