Would anyone happen to know if there is a camera repair store in Budapest which could fix a vertical rangefinder alignment for Epson R-D1?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Still trying to See.
If its an R-D1 rather than a 1s, why not give it a go yourself. If its already out you don't have anything to loose. Instructions on Rich Cutlers FAQ site here: http://www.richcutler.co.uk/r-d1/r-d1_16.htm and plenty of aditional info in earlier threads.

What Jim said. Takes 5 to 15 minutes to adjust a vertical misalignment on the R-D1. I did it 3 times already and i'm not a DIY-adept to say the least.

Not sure where to get an alignment but having been to Budapest you sure live in a beautiful city.

Having just done this on my RD-1 I can let you know that the instructions are easy to follow and the screw turns very easily and you then have an aligned rangefinder!
Actually you may have to do it twice - but, given that, you can then do it yourself for the rest of its life and it is well worth learning.
The only part I had "trouble" with is if you leave the top plate on you have to hold the adjusting screwdriver at an angle to get at the screw but you get used to this quickly. BTW - use a thin jewellers screwdrives to allow for the angle.
