Dear all,

I just tested my Canon 7 and found it's focusing a bit off. Both vertical and horizontal is a bit off the centre no matter I focus infinity nor close up. Could I fix it myself?

I really need yours opinion.

Thanks.

Here's a link from Karen Nakumura's website on the Canon 7.

About halfway down you'll see an section about adjusting the rangefinder. With the right tools, this is actually a pretty easy job (though you may have to fiddle with the vertical and horizontal to get things 100% perfect). I've done this on my Canon 7 and didn't have any problems.
