Hello,
I'm sure this has already been discussed here.. may you please point me to the correct thread?
I've just received my new Bessa R2A and the RF is a bit OFF at infinite.. :rolleyes:

Thanks!
Rob.
 
any chance you are using an adapter for the lenses? if you are, dont worry much about, it's the adapter that caused that little misalignment

Well, in fact I'm using a LTM/M adapter.. why should this cause a problem? :eek:

Thanks,
Rob.
 
it's easier to show you then trying to explain it lol ( I dont know how)
get some papers, cut out a circle big enough to fit you lense through and add between your adapter and lense, now you will notice a bigger misalignment. At the factory the alignment was made base on an M mount lense without any added adapters

From Arran's page it seems to be a quite easy task.. I'm wondering whether the R2A will have the setting screws in the same place.
lngu81: not sure, but the adapter thickness should be taken in account, otherwise focus at infinite wouldn't be possible.

Thanks a lot to everybody.. :)
Before start tampering I'll try it with another adapter and without adapter, if the problem will still be there, I'll give these procedures a try..
Cheers,
Rob
