Thanks John for the information. I didn't realize that the adjustment was
for infinity only, so that is good to know. It was because the it reads
slightly different on the focus ring from the other RC's I have that I
thought it might be out of adjustment. So maybe I'll run a roll of film
before attempting any adjustments. Also it seemed to be giving a larger
actual f-stop by about one stop on the GN settings. This is by comparing the
actual size of aperture viewed through the front element when the same GN
setting and focus distance is set, but again I was setting the focus
distance according to the numbers on the ring. When actually focusing
through the viewfinder, it was closer to the other RC's I have.
