Hi,
I have a Focomat 1c and can't seem to set the autofocus anymore. I used it with a nonstandard easel and had to undo the previous setting. went back to my normal Leitz easel that as the required 2cm height.
I followed instructions in the manual as per attached.
I have three lenses. a Nikko, componon-s and a focotar lens.
it doesn't work with either of the three lenses.
can anyone help?
Thanks

- Insert negative
- set largest aperture
- move to biggest enlargement setting (10x) all the way up
- focus image using focus ring (b)
- set clamp (c)
- move to 2.5x setting
- loosen screw (d) see picture, on my focomat there are two screws, but the point here is just to loosen the guiding cam
- here I should be able to bring the picture into focus by using the screw on the guiding cam.
- this is where it fails. turning the screw further in, makes it worse, loosening the crew brings it into focus a little more, but not enough. The screw falls out before the picture is in focus.
I have three lenses. a Nikko, componon-s and a focotar lens.
