Thanks for the reply. Thats what I was planning to do but didn't want to mess it up further so thats nice to hear. So essentially I'm having to turn the rear element in very small increments and test it with a camera until it is all good again. Needless to say I'm not lending that lens to anyone unless I'm on set.

I Recently lent out my schneider anamorphic lens, they took it apart to clean (against my wishes) and sent it back. I decided to use it with my canon 550d and it looked really weird, it wouldn't focus as well as it did and there were some weird diagonal streaks on the image. I'm new to anamorphic photography so I'm not sure how to repair it but I think it is something to do with the rear element placement. Could anyone please shed some light on the issue? Many thanks.
