Hi Ted,

Interesting article. Thanks.

Well, I've spent the morning trying to get this lump to look sharp. I tried your infinity method and came up with the following for 'acceptable' sharpness.

Focus Infinity
Zoom 22mm
Macro somewhere in the middle!

Now, it amazes me how different each adapter can be and smacks of bad manufacturing processes.

I tried the 20mm, infinity and full macro option, but it doesn't work.

The whole thing is so fragile once set that I'm scared to look at the bloody thing in case it shifts! I really don't think I'm prepared to use this in a job. Too risky.

I tried Bob's suggestion for distorting the alignment, and it certainly improved things but I now have misgivings for stresses on both the camera and Letus, and also the effects on focal distortion by not having the Letus sitting flush with the Fujinon.

Right now I wish I'd spent the extra and bought the P+S.
