Hello there! Today I had a look at how well my Canon New F-1 acutally focuses, because with my scanned negatives they often seemed a little off focus. I used a ground glass plate on the film rails and had to realise, that focusing in the viewfinder did not match the focus of the film perfectly. I then tried the same thing with my Canon AE-1, just to find the same problem. Then I tried a newly serviced Leicaflex SL-2, just to find out, that there was the same problem again. I wonder if there is such a thing as a tolerance for focusing in cameras? From my understanding the focus should be the same in the viewfinder and on the film plane?? What do you guys think? Should i bring my cameras to a repair shop? Or are small differences in focus "normal" for mass produced cameras?! I really wonder, and I hope someone can help me with that issue With best regards Moriz K. |
