SGBLADE HPX170 focusing problem

[Paul Llewellyn]

Hi all,

I'm just setting up the Blade with my 170 and I'm having trouble focusing on infinity.

When I attach either of my primes, a Nikon 35mm or 50mm, I'm not able to get to infinity. The Blade's manual says the collimation ring must be turned anti-clockwise to find the correct setting. However, the ring on my unit is already at full turn.

Now, when I attach my Nikon 80-200mm zoom lens I can get to Infinity but then past and back out of focus. For this the manual says to turn the collimation ring clockwise. I can do this which brings this lens to rights, but the primes completely out of focus.

I have the non-flip Blade with the 170 spacer ring.

Any ideas?

You should email Wayne at Shoot 35 directly. He is extremely helpful and responsive and should be able to get you squared away.
