How to calibrate the manual focusing of the TTartisan 50mm f/0.95 lens for Leica M-mount (video)

By LR admin | Published: July 20, 2020


TTartisan sent me a video on how to calibrate the manual focusing of the TTartisan 50mm f/0.95 lens for Leica M-mount:

The lens I got was slightly front focusing on short distances, but keep in mind that there is user error when manually focusing at f/0,95 (this is a 100% crop, focusing is on the X):



The lens comes with a small screwdriver for adjustments (I have not adjusted my lens yet – maybe I will do a separate post on that):

The lens can be purchased at the PR online store with free international shipping. The current wait time is over 30 days. Additional information on the lens can be found here.
