Default istDs with peleng

I recived my adapter today, so i can use my friends peleng ... i can take photos and everything, however object in distance are blury :S Lens works great with objects close to me, but objects in far distance are blury
My question is this: is peleng to close to my mirror and that is cousing the objects in distance to be blur and not sharp?
or what could be the problem?

Best regards,
HEki

I guess mostly it's because the adapter. Some M42 to K adapters don't allow focusing at infinity. If you take a pic of your adapter and post it here, I should be able to tell.

I've got some adapters (original Pentax ones and third party ones), and all of them have no problem focusing at infinity I might let go off one or two soon

Cheers,

I knew yours should be something like that. No wonder you have problem focusing at infinity.

I might let go one of mine, but not now. Will let you know if I decide to let one go

Good luck,

You can always get cheaper stuff from eBay if you look hard, and if you know the local price. Some stuff you juet can't find it here ...
