Look at the other link for the infinity focus part. You need a focusing target at the film plane: I use a piece of glass with Scotch tape stuck to one side, but you can also just stretch a strip of Scotch tape across the film rails if you stretch it tight so that it's flat in the film plane. Now use an SLR camera to sight back through the lens, and open the Argoflex shutter on "B" so you can see in. A locking cable release makes this easier. It's easest if you have a split image rangefinder in your SLR, you can use the edge of the Scotch tape as your target. If your SLR lens is set at infinity, then when the target comes up sharp your Argoflex lens is at infinity too. Doing the same thing on the viewing lens side, you have to use the texture of the groundglass as your focusing target. |
