Contax T horizontal RF adjustment

[robdeszan]

Hi All,

My Contaxt T is slightly short of focus at infinity. I've found information on vertical adjustment using a screw behind a small cover under the film winding lever but I can't find any information on horizontal adjustment.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Many thanks!

Pat

Well, to answer my own question...

To access the horizontal adjustment screw you need to remove the film guide rails by undoing the four tiny screws. Next, open the lens cover and pull the lens housing in a bit so that the bellows starts to roll back and lift the top left hand side corner of the bellows gently to reveal a tiny screw. You will need to apply a drop of acetone to be able to adjust first!

Here's a photo of the finished job while I left the glue to dry (the lens is covered for protection)



I hope it helps!
