Hi all,
I just got my Mamiya 7 alignment adjusted because it was out of alignment for infinity.
I've had problems with this camera from the beginning :bang: - in terms of the fact that images I produced were all slightly out of focus. Originally I thought it was my scans, now I realize that it was probably just the alignment.
I've just checked and my eyes cannot see any 'misalignment' on infinity so if there is any its not noticeable to me. My plan is to run a test roll at multiple apertures for distance and at the minimum focus distance of 1metre, develop them myself and then send them to the lab for scanning to minimize any possible errors in my process. I'll post the results here.
So is it possible that the lens is perfectly in alignment at infinity but somehow out of alignment at 1metre?
Is it possible that even though my viewfinder indicates that the focus is spot on, that somehow the lens is out of alignment? If so, how do I test for that?
Does anyone have any advice beyond what I've outlined?
