I fine-tuned the "Zorki."
I built a device to measure the lens's working distance and calibrated the lens and camera. Now, using a depth indicator, the results are more accurate.
The device consists of a macro helicoid into which the lens under test is screwed. On the other side, a matte glass plate is held in place by an adapter, and a 10x magnifying glass is attached. However, I replaced the magnifying glass with a digital camera with a telephoto lens so I wouldn’t have to run outside every time to look at distant antennas.

I’m not sure that kind of precision is necessary here. The total average error of all the elements is already roughly within the standard anyway.
But I like to think that everything is accurate now.
