Focussing accuracy question, 35mm SLR vs Rangefinders?
A diopter won't affect the focus accuracy right, with the split screen perhaps? I have a -2 on there.
It's just the first one had something similar in the beginning too...but the next roll or two came back mostly good after reseating the focussing screen.
I remember using the matte part of the screen for the portraits with the now working fm2n, and then I rushed to buy a backup when I saw it working as that was my only hangup. But I used the split screen very carefully both times with the backup that's going back.
My finger hovers over the buy button on a $1000+ fm2n after import tax in "unused" condition (though you can actually see use marks even under very diffused product photo lighting) with box and late s/n, but it seems kind of ridiculous. Want to be 100% sure over like 20 rolls then I'll try and find a reasonably priced mint one.
The first one 'only' cost me $355 and is late serial number, and great cosmetically. The one being returned was like $600 after import with a naff lens. All converted to USD to GBP.
