I only have the one lens: "CANON LENS FD 50mm 1:1.8" When I received it, it was working perfectly. Got some beautiful pictures out of it 5 years ago. But regrettably, it's been sitting in a drawer since then (air conditioned). The focus point is in front of the subject. When I focus on a subject 6 feet in front of the camera, the number inscribed on the lens dial says it's focused 3 feet in front of me. The mirror doesn't move when I wind the action, and it seems to be resting on top of a small pin (on one side) that acts as a backstop. It doesn't seem to have any give, or move downward at all when i lightly push on it. Your theory seems to fit the problem better than anything I thought of. Maybe the mirror or focusing screen is off and I just can't see it...  |
