The rangefinder on my Konica Pearl I has gone out of alignment. It was OK when purchased a few month ago and I can manage mostly with zone focus, but it would be nice to get this back in sync. Since this is the uncoupled RF model I am guessing it wouldn't be too difficult to fix. Anyone have any suggestion on how to go about that? I don't think it would be worthwhile for me to send this out for repair and am hoping someone knows what it would take for a do it yourself job.

BTW, the photos from this camera really wowed me.
 
It shouldn't be too hard to adjust, look for an adjustment screw somewhere around the rangefinder. I have no experience with this particular model, it looks nice though.
If you can't find an adjustment screw that is accessible from the outside, then you might have to remove the top cover, generally not hard to do, and have a look in there.
Good luck.
