I think you need to try meditation!!
What infinity check? what are you talking about? what 50mm lines are small? why you were turning the winder to the wrong way?

bah, sounds like you are the one who needs meditation!
um....I tried pointing the ZI at a group of buildings a long ways away and then I set the lens to infinity inside the rangefinder the images are still a good distance apart from each other, at least a good 2/3 of the rangefinder patch distant. Im assuming the rangefinder is out of alignment since I had a similar problem with my mamiya 6 back in the day. I got lucky, my film was saved, the negatives look ok, will scan for a closer look.

I just went outside and couldn't focus on the moon, the lens was at infinity but the rangefinder was still off.

It's so convenient you are half a world away from us so you had a moon available!

Ill try the sun later today then, its a little farther away and never shines strong here, just a dim red dot in the sky, followed by a call to my camera dealer to see what can be done.
