Contemporary books/pictures indicate that some Japanese manufacturers in the 70s/80s assembled, even fairly simple/cheap lenses, on jigs that utilised the projected image method to calibrate the focus of each camera. The majority of Japanese fixed lens cameras of the 60s through to the 80s had very acceptable focus and produced sharp images. Today things are very different. In the age of clip together so called small tolerance dimensioned parts, there are thousands of fixed focus digital cameras being produced/sold that are incapable of producing a sharp image on the sensor! Thus an official repair manual may or may not have the measurement data you require. Have you tried looking for a manual or repair notes? I do not have any details on repair manuals/notes that Olympus produced. If they produced in a similar way to Canon, there could be plenty of information/data - even if it is in Japanese. |
