Hello Group,

whom shall i ask to adjust my rangefinder?

Any recommendations within Germany?

Thank you for your advice,

Hans
 
Just bought old good R-D1, but it has that annoying vertical rangefinder problem. Could anyone tell me exact type of screwdriver, what I need to use - to be able to adjust this issue? Thank you in advance!

I used a 2.5mm flathead screwdriver to adjust mine. Most guides also recommend using a shaved wooden dowel or chopstick to get the hotshoe cover off, but I found that didn't give me enough leverage. Instead, I used the same flathead driver with tape wrapped around the end to keep from scratching the metal.

The R-D1 is definitely one of the easiest RFs to adjust yourself, especially the vertical alignment. This is especially convenient, since almost every example I've seen will need it at some point.

Thank you for a prompt reply!
It seems like I have 1,5mm, 2mm and 3mm flat screwdrivers, so I guess one of them should be good enough for adjusting)
Hope that l'll manage to do it.
Is there any special suggestions, regarding this procedure?
