[MF3D.FORUM:1117] Sputnik focus fix

Thank you to Brenda Nowlan and Paul Talbot for their 
help with adjusting the focus on Sputniks. I used the 
technique that Brenda described (based on info from 
Elliot S. and Tom D.). 

It seems to have worked! The two lenses are about 
equally accurate. I now have confidence that I can 
adjust the focus on Sputniks. One change that I made 
to the described procedure was to tape actual Sputnik 
slide film to the film plane rather than marked acrylic. 
I then set it on a light box. Worked well for setting 
the focus. I used an SLR with a 50mm lens (only one I 
have) and that may have set the focus off a bit. I was 
not clear on how to use the technique on the view finder,
which may account for the distance settings not matching 
the focus.
