Hi Giuseppe,

I'm afraid we follow the instructions to the letter, and always have done with other Letus units on hire. with this one you zoom all the way in, see the grain, but can't focus on it. The only way to focus on it is to use macro!!! which is obviously a no go!

So, do I have a duff anchromat within the Letus?

We've done some testing this morning to see how we can find focus on this damn thing and the only way is to have the lens at around 22mm, focus at infinity and macro somewhere around half way. Its ridiculous and not a situation I could ever allow on a job. far too fragile and Heath Robinson when you are charging clients large sums of money.

Is the stock lens on the 110 the same 16x5.5? If so then that proves that not all Letus units are the same surely. I'd allow for minor discrepancies but that much of a difference is not acceptable.
