In Reply to: Re: Cams for 135mm posted by Bob Stoddard on January 10, 2001 at 17:25:05:I took some Polaroid shots of a clock face, indoors (it is 19F outside, not so good for Polaroids), at f/5.6 from a measured distance of 6ft. The ground glass seemed to coincide with the rangefinder focus. The Polaroid prints look reasonably sharp under magnification. However the scales indicated a somewhat longer distance.
So, the question is are these the correct scales for this lens/cam or are they just out of adjustment? The parts numbers stamped on the back of the scales are: sliding index 30817-2, stationary scale 30881-8. The repair manual lists part numbers 30817-P2 and 30815. Further, it says that the number "stamped on the back of the scale" is cross-referenced to the correct cam (mine is #31).
