Did you happen to check the diopter setting on the camera? Your lens may be focusing properly, but you're not seeing it because the diopter may be off. Ask me how I know that. :) |

My only remaining film camera is a Leica, which I like to take on trips, because it is relatively small, quiet, and I have three really sharp lenses for it. Is there such a thing as a Leica lens that's NOT sharp? Yes. Had one years ago. Couldn't figure it out. Turns out that the focusing ring was warping the glass ever so slightly - like in the micro meter scale. I had an M5 (?? current rangefinder model around 1971). Women hated it. It revealed every pore on their face, every imperfection. I had a Yashica that was like that - beautiful, crisp images. You could pick out details that you never would be able to see otherwise. What ever happened to Yashica anyway? |

Mine is older, with a pop down lever on the bottom for "rapid film advance." You really should scan some of your photos and share them with us. |

What ever happened to Yashica anyway? I should buy some 120 film and run it through my old Yashica D.... just to keep it from seizing up. http://www.butkus.org/chinon/yashica.../yashica_d.htm |

Unless the Leica is about a hundred years old, I wouldn't have it. If I did, I'd sell it as an antique. -- John H |
