I was referring to the precision of parallelism between lens mount and
film plane. It doesn't effect focussing accuracy, but the extent to
which all of the film plane is in focus for any given lens position. I
was talking in abstract concepts that may or may not have relavence to
the issue at hand, like I usually do when I don't have much else to
talk about.....<g>
Be seeing you.
