    Hi. Can you please tell me if you had any problems with focusing? I have the same lens, but it feels like the focus on the final photo is closer by half a meter to a meter than it appears in the viewfinder when focusing. Or maybe you've heard of this problem. I would be grateful for an answer

    Hi,
    I didn't notice a specific problem on focusing, and as you focus directly through the lens via a mirror (unlike rangefinders) it's what you really see through the viewfinder that allows your focus. No split circle in mine to get a very precise focus indication, so only what the eye can see. Perhaps you could change the dioptre on the viewfinder to get a clear view of what's in focus??
