I just put in my RZ ProIID kit (body, prism finder, 3 lenses) today at Nippon Clinic for CLA. I run a P45 off this.
I was telling the RZ tech about a gut feeling I had that there was a focus issue: I was just getting too many borderline soft shots, and was running through the list of suspects (not least my eyesight), when I mentioned having a Maxwell intenscreen in place of the stock focus screen - and he jumped, and said, that is it grasshopper. ok he didn't do a Pat Morita on me...
but he did say that they stand firm on that diagnosis from experience,
and they would know....btw, what a pleasure to hang with old skool master techie/craftsmen from the pre-digital age...real nice folks too
Wondering if this is:
a. true of others' experiences
b. could it be the Maxwell itself, and would a Beattie intenscreen be different?
thanks all.
While I'm at it, I seem to recall a modification to the Polaroid holder for the RZ that was supposed to allow for single sheets of Type 55 or Readyloads to be fed into it. Granted, it wasn't full frame 4x5, but apparently close?
wondering if this truly exists...
