****First, thank you for your valuable time, it is appreciated. I'll try to be as brief as possible, while providing necessary info.
I'm hoping someone may be able to assist me with my current issue: My Mamiya ZD Digital back is “slightly out of focus” (mated to my Mamiya 645AFD) when the “focus indicator dot” is lit, indicating “in focus”.
Short version: I was told by Phase One tech support that my DB needs a "focus adjustment" (to correct a "slight out of focus" issue) I'm looking to get that done.
Detailed version: I have been shooting film with this camera for a long time, with superb, result always, razor sharp images and great color,..just great results. I decided to add a digital back, and got this one from a friend very cheap. Overall, it works well enough, except that when I use the "focus indicator dot" to achieve proper focus, the focus of the captured image is slightly off (forward or back, not sure) and it is visible in the split prism through the viewfinder that’s it’s not quite in focus.
However, if I adjust the focus ring to achieve proper focus to my eye through the viewfinder, the "focus indicator has one of the triangles lit", indicating out of focus....but the captured image is "in focus".
So that's my story ha ha...sorry for the looong message.
I look forward to hearing from and getting your thoughts.
Thank you,
