Hi!
I think my Planar does focus to infinity well, but my Distagon, when focusing to infinity hits the mirror... With this method they tell here http://forum.manualfocus.org/viewtopic.php?id=1607, could I fix the problem?

Does someone has some pictures about using this method (my technical english vocabulary is a bit hummmmm bad Very Happy).

Thx everyone!

I'm afraid that this solution will not help you.

Your mirror is hitting the rear of your lens.
There are two ways to prevent, first use the mirror lockup and then focus to infinity and take your picture,
or shave the mirror pf your 5D
