Iscorama - crooked focus ?

[Fisimatenten]

Hello everyone,

 

i just got an Iscorama (pre-36) and tested it with several taking lenses, it seems that the focus is a bit crooked, means sharpness goes a bit from left down to right up - did any of you ever noticed such an issue or heard about something like this?? Thanks for your replies in advance!

 

best regards

Sounds like something is mis-aligned, posting an image of the issue would be helpful determining what.

Hey,

 

here are two test pics - one person standing on the right and left side of the image with same distance to the lens - second: a bottle on 100%, camera moved from left to right with same distance - focus is crocked, like with shift-lens :(

It can be fixed, this is the thing with most old lenses. I didnt have this much issue but i did have to send both of my isco taking lenses in to get torn apart and cleaned, apertures unstuck etc. Hopefully its not too bad but most Iscoramas out there seem to need something to get them working perfectly again.

 

Hopefully yuo can either do it yourself of someone near by can do it for you depending on your location
