Hi, John. First, I would determine whether the lens is actually focused correctly at infinity. Here is an easy way to do that: http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-123.html Next, if the lens itself is okay, I would see if something is keeping the mirror from dropping all the way to its stopping point. There should be no resistance...if you lift it up and let it fall, there should be a distinct click as it lands. If your lens is okay and the mirror is landing as it should, there are only two things left that will cause this problem...(1) the mirror needs to be adjusted (2) for some reason, your focus screen has been removed and replaced incorrectly. Generally this happens when the thin shim pieces beneath it are lost, misplaced or re-installed incorrectly. Did this problem just occur out of the clear blue, or did you just have it serviced, or did you buy it from somebody who claimed to have had it serviced? Please let us know. Jon |
