Just wanted to see if this was a quick fix (or something anyone else had encountered) before I contact Cameraquest.
On my Ikon, my new 35/1.4 Nokton engages the 35mm framelines, but I get a ghosting of the 50mm lines that's pretty annoying. I can manually pull the selection lever over enough to make them disappear but when I release they go right back.
My 35 Summilux ASPH completely engages, so it's not the body - any ideas what could be off on the lens?

there is small area on the mount( 2 or3 o'clock if your lens mounted) that need to be filed away in your nokton.
See the area in your camera mount as well. Watch when you turn the frameline preview, you'll get it easyly. 35mm lens should not push the internal lever at all. So it should be easy to file away the area in your lens mount

Thanks for the info. I looked at the mount and don't feel comfortable doing the filing myself (on a brand new lens). Guess I'll e-mail Cameraquest about returning it.
