My error. On the one I have, it has a "0", then three hash marks, then a "10", then one more hash mark beyond "10" in each direction. I assumed each hash mark is 2.5mm since they are equally spaced between the "0" and "10", so adding on 2.5mm for the last one, I got to 12.5mm. I now see that I can shift past those last marks if I push the screws all the way to the stops. It is a borrowed camera so I never forced any of the movements when I shot with it, hence I never went past the last hash mark which is at 12.5mm and just assumed that was the limit -- sorry.I you sure about that ? From the specs: "In der Horizontalen lässt sie sich um 40mm und in der Vertikalen (siehe Abb.7) um 30mm mittels der seitlichen Drehknöpfe verschieben. "
in English it means as much as "30mm shift left/right and 40mm fall" which would mean yours should have 15mm as well ;-)
Bottom line is I am getting one of these jewels -- the newer RM3Di -- for myself, and I will be happy to push it to the limits for testing when I get mine. I remain comfortable that LCC will handle the extra 2.5mm of shift, since it handled 25mm of rise.
Any way we want to slice it, I am comfortable stating that worst case on the 43 is you'll get at minimum 80% of the full IC on it with the IQ180 using the Tech-Wide LCC in C1. And in cases where corners are not critical, we'll probably get comfortably more.
And I *may* get my hands on a 40 HR-W later this week to test, and if so I will add that data to this thread.
