Clive Alex Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 My Arri IIa is focusing slightly in front of the subject which I noticed when shooting at f1.5 and f2.3. I've checked the mirrors and ground glass and eveything seems to be sitting correctly so I'm a little lost? It isn't the lenses as they are all focuing at the same point, anyone any ideas?

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted April 10, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted April 10, 2012 You'll need to have the FFD checked and the lenses checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian is right, something is off, either the FFD or the ground glass. Take a look at this web page. It is for the Arriflex 16S, but the focusing principle on the 16S and the IIa are the same. Look at the section on FFD. Focus Issues with Arriflex Cameras Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve waschka Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 also make sure its not a filter. had a polarizer teach me that once. almost to the point i was going to box the camera up and send it in for calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
