Hi, From what I've seen, Baldinettes have three-element lenses, which are focused by twisting the outer-most front element. AFAIK, the only focus adjustment to be made is to see that the focus ring with the distance markings is clamped onto the front element at the right position. The other two lenses (one in front of the shutter and the other behind the shutter) are simply screwed in snugly to the bottom of their threads. Be sure not to put the middle element in upside-down. If you do, then you will never get a sharp image at any setting. Here's how I do it: While checking the image at the focal plane, I aim at an object a known distance away (usually a lamp in my room) and then adjust the front lens to get a sharp image. Then I tighten the set-screws in the focus ring at that distance without moving the lens. |
