ben_randall Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 <p>Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please?<br>I recently acquired a Pentacon 6 with unmetered prism and, seperately, a 50mm Zeiss Flektagon lens.<br>Having attached the lens, and looking though the viewfinder, all I am seeing is a tiny circular portion of the viewfinder image that represents no more than 10% of the viewfinder's field of view. Something is not right here...<br>many thanks,</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_marvin Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 <p>Something is indeed not right. I have this combination and have had no problem. Is the Flek the only P6 lens you have? If not, do you have the same problem with other lenses? How does the image look on the focusing screen with the prism removed?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_metcalfe Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 <p>Sounds like the focusing screen is missing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_randall Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 <p>Thanks, really appreciate the responses. The focusing screen theory sounds logical and having 'looked into it' it does appear to be missing. Thanks again.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
