Title: Very strange problem with a Fisheye lens
Post by: Ed Stander on May 24, 2019, 09:03:20 am
Hi -
  I have a Mamiya 24mm fisheye with the oddest problem.  It focuses fine at f/4, but goes out of focus as one closes down the aperture.  Once closed down, no amount of focusing will bring the image into sharp focus.  I have a second example of this lens that doesn't suffer from this at all - so it doesn't seem to be anything I'm doing. 
  Has anyone had a similar problem with any lens?  Any suggestion what might be done to fix the problem?
  Best of all - Ed
