Diopter for R2S and another question...

[csxcnj]

Hi all, just got a R2S a few weeks ago and love it. Having TTL metering is fun 😀

I was wondering if the eyepiece diopters for the Nikon FM-10 would work on the R2S? If not is there anything that would?


Also, last Saturday I dropped the camera from the dizzying height of a couple of inches onto a wooden park bench. Afterwards I noticed that the finder was out at infinity. When focusing on an object that would definitely qualify as at infinity I have to focus back almost to the 20 meter mark for things to line up. That got me to wondering if everything else was off.

I did a search here and found a thread which mentioned testing close focus with a mirror- set a target on mirror, focus and then focus on your reflection and if all is well the focus number for reflection should be double what the target focus was-

did that and if that's a reliable test then my close focus is okay.

I'm wodering A: are the Bessa's really THAT delicate and

B: should I get the infinity focus realigned? It doesn't bother me but could it be affecting mid-range focus?

Any help and/or suggestions greatly appreciated.

The diopter for the R2S is the one for the Nikon FG/EM cameras. I use a 0 on each. If you camera is still in warranty I would send it in and have it fixed. These cameras are tuffer than that. I own two of them. Steve.

Hi selma, thanks for the responce. I looked up a compatability chart for Nikon and the FA/FE and FM-10 take the same diopters,


I'm going to see if I can deal with the ooa at infinity after testing to see if the camera is accurately focusing at other distances. It's still under warranty but the Head Bartender says this won't be covered as I dropped it. He said a drop of only a couple inches shouldn't have caused any problems but it did to mine. So I guess the answer to my question on how delicate Bessa'a are is VERY...at least that's how I'll be treating this one and any other Bessa I might get.
