I`ve just bought Rollei XF35/new/,but there is a slight problem with the rangefinder adjustment.When the lens is set to infiinity,the rangefinder image is not quite horizontally aligned.Images are out of focus.
Does anybody have any experience with what's involved in adjusting the rangefinder on this camera?
 
I have one and the range finder goes out of alignment pretty easily.
Most of the ones I've seen for sale on daBay look as if the leatherette is peeling under the viewfinder window.
This is because; that is where the rangefinder adjustment screw is.
See my very low res picture. Under there is a screw, set the lens to infinity, aim at the moon (or something a long way away) and tweak the screw.

I've considered cutting a little hole in the leatherette for easier access. One suggestion is to put a dab of nail polish on the edge of the screw head after you are happy with the adjustment.

Edit:
Whoops wrong attachment - fixed it?>
