The fix is the same as for older Super Takumars... Spin off the front "faceplate". Set the lens at infinity. Loosen the three screws which hold the collar to the internal assembly... back the collar off a bit and tighten one of the screws down. Now turn the collar a bit more towards infinity and check the view through the viewfinder. Repeat until you can get to (or maybe just a shade past) infinity. Tighten all 3 screws and replace the front ring around the outside face of the lens. Took about 10 minutes, and I've never done this before. Coolness. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
