RF adjustment worked!!!

[noimmunity]

I just got a M-Hexanon 90/2.8 in the mail and when I first tried it out I noticed significant front focusing on the RD-1. THen I tried a couple of other lenses. None were quite as severe, but it was noticeable on all at close distance/open apertures.

Worked up the courage to take off the hot shoe and adjust the RF myself. Lo and behold, it worked!!!

It wasn't as easy as it could be, but then again, it's not as hard or as dangerous as I thought it would be. And definitely worth it!!!
