I have a Hassie 500 c/m and a 150 f/4 CF lens. I'm finding that it's backfocusing. I brought it into the shop, and they told me that it could be mirror adjustment, a problem with the body itself, or lens adjustment.
Here's my question: it's a manual focus lens, so how could it be out of adjustment. I mean, if an object is 10 ft away, even if the distance scale on the barrel reads 12 ft, but the image in the viewfinder is in focus, shouldn't the image on the film plane be in focus too? If not, that seems like a body problem, not a lens problem. What am I missing?
