Hello,
at my first roll in the Kodak Medalist I did a test for full aperture, close distance focusing.
I set 5 pieces of printet paper at 1.0, 1.025, 1.05, 1.075 and 1.1 m and focused the 1.05 m piece with the rangefinder at the indicated distance of 3.5 f. (The indicated distance seem to be measured to the main plane of the lens and not to the film plane.)
Then I took this photo at f/3.5 (cropped):

So the focus seems to be at 1.025 instead of 1.05.
Is this a misalignment of the rangefinder or does the lens show focus shift and is calibrated for a smaller aperture?
