I've also found that my Switar 10mm (Silver Preset Version) is blurry with the Aspheron 5,5 and was wondering what's going on?
I can almost get focus at infinity when the Switar is focused close, but cannot get any closer focus with the Aspheron attached. Stopping down the aperture seems to help a little but it's not really usable for shooting.
The Switar itself seems to focus... except that infinity is at about 10" on the lens markings, past which point everything is just a blur... but it can foucs clearly up to about 5cm, so guessing there's something wrong with the scale too. Does it also need the black step up ring I've seen on some models?
Would really appreciate any advice on what's going on and the correct attachment of the Aspheron for this lens to work! ? (I studied photography but just getting into film making with my first Bolex Rex 5).
