Known Issues: \\
<wrap note>Image shift: If shift is due to loose threads, spray and bake will reduce it. \\
If shift is due to the iris (will shift on the video collimator when the iris is rotated), this is due to spherical aberration and cannot be corrected. Is inherent in the design of the lens.</wrap>\\
