If the focus screen is put in upside down, focusing will be thrown way out.
Dull side of screen must go towards the prism.

Subject: [OM] OM-20 focusing problem

> Hi All,
>
> I've finished cleaning up an OM-20 that I picked up fairly cheap but have
now discovered that the focusing is off in the viewfinder. I've checked with
different lenses and the problem is with the camera itself.
>
> With a 50mm lens when the image should be clear at infinity the lens needs
to be moved back to around 10m.
>
> I took the focusing screen out to removed a piece of plastic that was
floating around above it but it appears to have gone back together okay.
>
> I've tried reseating the focusing screen a couple of times and it hasn't
really made a difference.
>
> Any ideas on what I should be doing or looking for?
> Thanks,
> Jason
