What is the Proper Method for Calibrating a RF?
My M2 has become misaligned, and I have a conundrum. I have no money to get it properly aligned; and want it done asap. I know aligning the rangefinder is a pretty simple process. I technically know how to do it (i.e. I know where the screws are, and how to turn a screw driver), but I am unsure of the process. I hiked to a cliff to get an infinity focus, but it is still slightly off. So here are my question...
Should I calibrate to infinity, then calibrate a close focus reference, or visa versa?
At what distance should I do a close focus calibration?
How do I set up the close focus set up? Tripod & measuring tape?
Do I measure to the front of the lens, flange, or film plane?
Thanks. I think this information would help the RFF community greatly.
