I have this rare beautifull and underpriced RF. It has two flaws:
1. I've changed the half mirror in rangefinder (which was non reflective so RF was unusable) and put in half mirror from some other camera that I had for parts (non Canon). It's a bit smaller, but I've managed to glue it in. I've shot couple of rolls and the distance metering seems accurate, but only when I hold the camera horizontaly. If I turn it verticaly, it seems out of focus (but on film it's ok), so I have to focus in horizontal pos and then turn it vert for shooting. It's a bit annoying. Why does this happen? Can I correct it?
2. The winding lever doesn't jam when I advance the film, which means I could wind the film all the way to the end without taking a single shot. This causes some skipped frames from time to time but is not a big problem. However, I would repair it if it was not too much trouble.
There's very little info on this camera since it is rarely in use, so any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
