220VR NOTICE! IMPORTANT!

["George S. Pearl" <alps007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bill & all 220VR users....

    let me share with you something that happened to me with my new 220VR camera which sounds very similar to what you guys are yacking about! The problem of sharpness from that camera is maybe not your lens at all, but YOUR VIEWFINDER! It seems that Werner simply looks through the viewfinder and sets it to his own eyesight. So, unless you have the same vision as Werner, you will need to adjust your viewfinder screen to be sharp with your own eyes (not Werner's eyes).

   I wasted lots of film and time shooting and testing LENSES until I figured out that it wasn't the lens that was the problem. After my adjusting the viewing screen correctly, it was a whole new ball game! So there!

My best
