hi, ive just replaced the fungus coated, scratched daxoo 3.5 with a clean focotar-2. i put in a full range b&w neg in tje focomat 1a and just eyeballing the image, the replacement lens looks a full paper grade more contrast! also, the autofocus seems the same but i need. to check it. BTW, long ago in an old 'whole earth' catalog, under photo, there was a brief sidebar about running a PRINT verification test on setting the auto focus for the focomats. i would like to run this test, or something, similar that someone on the list might care to recommend. best, rich
