The helical on mine is certainly as loose as it needs to be. This is the not some SLR Zeiss lens that must have smooth sailing as we find perfect focus at 1.4. You're going to find your distance, take the camera from your eye, apply that distance to the scale, set you exposure, and then compose. It isn't difficult at all for that purpose. But yes, I paid $99 dollars for it. I did not expect an Ebony after I bought a Lomo. However, I for one was surprised by how nice this little thing really is. This is going to make shooting 4x5 landscapes even with a tripod a no-brainer because of the weight saved. I don't have any more excuses to skip LF, and that's a good thing. Oh, and just get a black rapid strap! SMH.
