I have my Zeiss 135/3.5 Planar, the recessed board for it, the multi focal viewfinder, a 135 distance scale, and a non-matched cam. I'm trying to get these things in sync to some extent. One thing that's driving me a bit crazy is that with everything in the zero position, and the VF adjusted to distance, the ground-glass image and VF frame is pretty off. It seems to show much more above the lens than the GG actually sees.
Am I meant to operate the 135 with the bed in the middle-drop position? If I do that I can line up the images but of course my focus calibration is off. And it's not quite as fast to operate as I have to drop the bed, extend the lens, then tilt the lens, and there is no zero indent to tell me when things are square.
Any advice for me on this?
