Has anyone had a third party optimize focussing of a CV Nokton Classic 1.4/35? I read that some people have considered sending it to DAG, but never heard of anyone with results. Can it be done?
I just thought I'd give CV one more try, but it seems impossible to get a useful picture out of it where focus is on target. It is about OK at 1.4, but of course soft. I can live with that, but the shift is so bad at f2 and above even at distances more than 2 meters, the lens seems practically unusable. Very disappointed so far.
I cannot exchange for another as I bought it used, but a full return is an option. If the adjustment is possible I'd be willing to put some money towards that.
Any advice appreciated… thanks
Here is a test image, view the large or full size
