Hello good people,

I had a mishap during a photoshoot in NY in which my black M4 with motor was knocked off my shoulder and landed flat on its back. Everything worked but the internal focus of the lens is off. When I switched lenses, everything looked fine. Any suggestions other than the obvious repair costs? Many thanks. Dixon

Could you please explain further what you mean by "the internal focus of the lens is off? Do you mean that the rangefinder indication is different at infinity with this lens and no other? Do you mean that ther rangefinder seems to work correctly but all the negs are out of focus with this lens but no other?

Cheers,

Just a suggestion. In the future position your camera strap across your chest instead of hanging off one shoulder. I find that this method makes it impossible for the camera to drop. It could get bumped, of course, but at least it does not drop to the ground. I learned this lesson the hard way. Best of luck getting the lens repaired.
