Hi
I noticed that my second Kowa Six focuses differently than my working Kowa Six camera. When looking at the lens barrell it is focusing at 0.75m while I measure with a laser it is 0.68m to the object. My working camera focuses atound the 0.68m mark.
I expect it is the mount that has been "fixed" by previous owner with shims and it not in correct distance. My question is, will it matter much? I mean if I focus sharply with the focus screen will that not also give me the same sharpness on the film? Like if I were using a close up ring? Only issue would be focusing at infinity. Or am I missing something?
