Hi everybody!
Brand new here, so I hope this is the right place to post questions like this.
I have a 645 AFDii that I just started using again that I've been having major focus issues with.
The AF seems to be virtually useless - unless it's malfunctioning. I've switched it from standard to spot focus in the custom functions but nothing changes, it's just way way off all the time.
Even when I manually focus, the focus is always off by several inches. I'm using a split-type focusing screen.
I'm farsighted, but I had my contacts in when I shot some test images the other day. I could see the lines on the split-screen lined up perfectly in the prism finder but the focus is way way off in the image. I focused on her eyebrow and the rug about a foot in front of her is what is actually the sharpest.
Anybody have any experience with Mamiya having focus issues like this? I had hoped to mainly manually focus, but even the AF is totally off, too, so starting to worry that the issue is in the camera and/or lens versus me just being blind as a bat. With my contacts in it shouldn't be a problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
