Near Focusing using RF


I just printed the whole instruction with the attached photo in the LUF forum indicating the specific area to unscrew.

I have only adjusted the hex nut to infinity mark of my 50lux, and luckily the near focus at 1m distance is also perfectly calibrated. If you have both front and back focus issue, you will also need to loosen the nut at the connecting arm to tune further (careful as you may scratch your camera body!)

It is a wonderful idea that we can do this on our own, and don't have to send back to Germany for calibration everytime it gets "uncalibrated" again.

Do this at your own risk though if your set is not under warranty. If it is in warranty, worse case will be to send back to Germany for them to do a real calibration but at a long waiting time of 6 weeks...

I have the same problem, and read through your article and the link provided but I am a bit blur on how you do it. I wonder do you have a step by step instructions. Thanks.

Thanks, at this point I am not too sure I would dare to take the risk... hahaha, but anyway thanks for the info, it is good to know..
 

Only pain I have with Leica is affording the damn stuff...... :(
