i just acquired a fotoman 624 with schneider 210mm f5.6 lens, but i noticed that the focus ring will not focus beyond 70ft and there is still about quarter turn to 300ft and infinity.
without ground glass, i can not confirm if 70ft is infinity, and i can not calibrate the lens focus. is there another way to do this?
from the manual, once i determine the infinity distance, i can then adjust the distance scale ring to align the infinity symbol with the red distance indicator line.
i suppose i can take rolls of test film to determine distance, but i am just wondering if there is another way to do this.
thanks in advanced.
