Hi.
My problem is the moving image is higher than the static image. Makes focussing on sloping object tricky. What do I need to adjust so the two images coincide correctly ?

Hi I have this bit of information

Once the two screws are visible, the bottom one is for infinity adjustment ( screwed into a brass looking part ) and the top for horizontal image alignment(chrome on chrome). CAUTION You may see a shielded wire, which you SHOULD NOT TOUCH as it may be easy to cut or damage it. Then you WILL NEED to send the camera in for the top plate to be removed and the wire replaced.
The above is alleged to have come from a Mamiya site some time ago ?

I also have this

Look inside the hole that the plug covered. You’ll see two screws. Those are the rangefinder adjustment screws. The upper (and more recessed one) is the vertical alignment, the raised one is the horizontal adjustment.

Q/ 1 has any one actually done this adjustment on a Mamiya 7 II
Q/ 2 if so can the moving image height be adjusted with either of these two screws and if so which ??

HELP Please

Best Regards Rob
 
Hi charjohncarter

Thanks for the Welcome, I hope so too.
I have noticed that most if not all the M7 adjustments appear to be the infinity screw !!!!\

Best Regards Rob
 
Cannot read anything you wrote because you used a white font. Those of us who prefer the white background cannot see it. And the yellow is just barely visible.
 
Rob, the horizontal alignment of a R/F is the more important one. Vertical alignment being off is an annoyance but not, in practice, a problem. For slopes you can always tilt the camera. I'd suggest that you refrain from doing the adjustment until you find reliable information on your specific camera.

That sounds perfectly clear to me. What's the problem?

Horizontal adjustments are done in order to calibrate for range. You start by adjusting for infinity and then check it, fine tuning at closer ranges. Vertical adjustments are done so everything will line up and you don't have one image higher than the other.
