Re: Linhof missed focusing
If it consistently focus at the back of your focus point, probably the ground glass is reversed: the frosted part is probably facing you instead of facing inwards the camera. Try to flip the ground glass, if possible.
Re: Linhof missed focusing
Thanks Pau for the reply, I did think that but nope it's in correct place and frosted part inside, that is what I'm surprised about, nothing I could find wrong so asked someone else to focus and shoot :)
Re: Linhof missed focusing
Your gg spacing is off. There are 4 small set screws that adjust the focus plane position of the gg. They have to be reset.
It sounds like:
1 your camera originally had the fresnel under the gg and removed it.
Or
2 someone adjusted those screws incorrectly for some reason.
Or
3 you are missing the 4 small shims that sit on those screws.

Thanks Bob, you always come for a rescue!
This camera was lying unused for 20+ years and no Fresnel for sure and I was the lucky one to open the fungus filled box!
I cleaned it but didn't play around with any screws, attached is the image of the ground glass.

Is there something I can se using some defined measurements to reset it to normal or will it need someone with experience to set it up for me?
The problem is finding one locally!
Thanks,

You should have an old camera like that get a professional CLA for best results. Any LInhof service center can help you,
Re: Linhof missed focusing
If you measure the distance from the gg toward the lens the distance will be somewhere near 13/64 Inches or 5 mm. If not....
Re: Linhof missed focusing
I so wish there was a Linhof centre in India or a reputed technican or if I was around there Bob! :)
