I forgot a very important point! When you focus on infinity, do it
by unlocking the front standard and moving it to the precise point
(by the way, you're doing all of this focusing on the ground
glass), then locking it down---not by moving the yoke with the
focusing knobs. Now---you may need to juggle the front standard and
the yoke (the latter by means of the focusing knobs) a bit to find
the best compromise between the relative positions of front
standard and yoke at infinity. Once you have fiddled these two
variables into the best positions, proceed as described. It's
really not all that complicated---just a bit tedious.
