Focus Issue With Nizo Professional

[rlorenz2]

I have a nizo professional with the Schneider-Kreuznach UWL III wide angle lens. I am having trouble getting the correct focus. When I look through the view finder every thing looks good, but the developed film is out of focus. Does anyone have a way to assure the focus is correct when using the lens? I focus the eye piece for my vision then use the lens. So Im not sure what I am doing wrong.

Make sure you focus the eyepiece whilst sighting on an object far enough away, like a building in the distance, and with the focus ring set to infinity.

....no doubt that's what you did.....

Now, for the W/A attachment, I believe the focus ring must be set to infinity, and the zoom ring (I believe) "clicked" into place somewhere in the (marked) macro range.....there is no critical focus with a W/A attachment.

Hi;

Yeah, click the macro focus ring into place and then slide the zoom in macro range till the lines in the viewfinder match on something a few feet away, it's a bit random but it works!
