Iscorama 36 focusing

[Paulio]

When setting the taking lens to infinite, has anyone else noticed the sweet spot is actually hitting infinite then coming back a bit? Infinite is a blurry mess for me using a Helios 42.

Thank!

Ive noticed this too and always wondered why. I thought it's bc usually the stuff i focus on is usually way farther than the last focus mark but probably closer than actual infinity even though it looks like it should be infinity. and when you set a lens to infinity usually the depth of field thats in focus begins at this point of "infinity" rather than being in the center of the actual window of focus. thats my own hypothesis though so im not sure if thats the reason or if thats even right...i also guess it depends on how the lens is made.

but yes i definitely have to do that, set focus back for a couple of my taking lenses. also my m42 50mm taking lens that came w my iscorama is severely out of focus on my gh3 when i use it alone. dunno why.
