I recently bought an old Kodak 35 like this one here http://www.nwmangum.com/Kodak/K35-4.html. It is the model from 1938 with the Anastigmat 50mm lens. It is in good working order but needed some cleaning, so I unscrewed the lenses and wiped them down. While screwing them back on, however, it occured to me that there may be more to it than simply turning the lenses until they stop. How do I know when the lenses are in the correct position for proper focus? Also, my camera has a pop up parallax viewfinder. What this camera does *not* see, to have is a way to adjust the viewer to measure distance. I have seen other versions of this camera that do have a little thumb wheel for doing this, and my camera does not seem to have been built with this functionality in mind. If this is the case how on earth am I supposed to use the viewfinder for anything other than basic framing? |
