If you live in the Los Angeles area and need your R-D1 rangefinder aligned, I highly recommend Steve's Camera in Culver City. My R-D1 came from the factory out of alignment. Following the advice from this forum, I adjusted the vertical alignment myself. At that point, the focus calibration was very close but not perfect. Being a clumsy person, I decided not to adjust the other two setting screws which need to be glued down. For $120, I had my R-D1 back two days later in perfect alignment. I no longer have photos slightly out of focus, and the rangefinder overlay matches without the very slight ghosting it displayed previously. Both the close focus and infinity are properly calibrated.
