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? 😀

 

[Avotius]

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 checked my M7 with 50 lux and same thing is happening, but buildings are not that far away, I need to do it with moon 😀

 

[Avotius]

the buildings I was aiming at were a good 4-5 kilometers away so im hoping thats enough

 

[Nachkebia]

Someone was saying it is not!

 

[Avotius]

Someone was saying it is not!

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

 

[Trius]

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

 

[Nachkebia]

I am afraid both my Zeiss Ikon and M7 are off! on infinity moon is not in focus!! 🙁 what should we doo? 😀

I have this weird feeling the moon isn't a good way to test infinity focus... ????

 

[Nachkebia]

How about burj al arab?

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.

 

[Nachkebia]

Please let me know, I am also interested since both of my cameras do the same thing, also my M7 flares 🙁

 

[Avotius]

out of alignment still, sent it back

 

[Nachkebia]

My god... What should I do? should I send back to leica? or send my ZI to zeiss? or popflash?
