[quote author=TheGr8Revealing link=1212879018/0#11 date=1212893080]the 803T needs to be all the way into the adapter. it cant just be flush with the back of the adapter. Needs to be all the way into be able to focus to infinity.

This was the answer I was most afraid of.  Disassembly and figuring out how to push it in farther.

Once more . . .Into the breach!

Dave, I have never had to do that. You should be able to just fix the module. It will be an easy fix. Did you see this post? :

THAT Mr. TheGr8Revealing is what we like to call a KEY bit of information. I disassembled it, fabricated a tool, pressed the diode all the way into the adapter, and voila!

Focused perfectly from close up burning to a tight dot 30 yards off, with more focus length left. I'm alone here. That is the farthest I could shoot it in my backyard.

THANK YOU!!!!

I owe you a beer (and so does everybody else).

My diode is protruding a bit from the adapter, but not enough to hit the lens.

Peace,
dave
