Hi everyone!
I've just received my long desired adapter but i had a bad surprise :bang:.
I tested (on my Leica CL) my industar 61 L/D (50mm) and my jupiter 9 (85mm) and they seem to focus correctly at close range but they lost the infinity focus. Apparently they (both) seem to focus beyond infinity...
I know the lenses are ok because i use them on a Fed3.
I tested the rangefinder of the CL with the original summicron and it is sharp.
Moreover all the three lenses ('cron, industar and jupiter) give the same focus distance on the CL (at close range, of course).
Is it normal? Should I buy a better adapter (this one is really really cheap)? Which one? Am I underestimating something?
Any suggestion welcome.
Thank you.
