When looking through my CL the rangefinder patch appears to have moved further up to the left top corner, and is not horizontal. It appears to have a slight slant towards the right.

This is most pronounced with the 90mm framelines, and it's almost 2/3rds up the left corner of those framelines.

Is this normal? :confused: I haven't noticed it before, but I've hardly used the 90mm, so it may be that it's been this way since I got it. There are no focus problems, and the rangefinder patch is otherwise fine. Just seems to have moved itself out of centre.
 
Ah, that happened to me some time ago. I had never used a 90mm lens on my CL and very shortly after getting and fitting a 90mm the patch went adrift and was no longer accurate. I got it fixed but the repair guy said he had to leave the patch marginally off centre (I didn't really understand his explaination why) and it's been fine ever since.
 
I have two CLs. On one, the patch is ever so slightly tilted. The images align well, and I've never been concerned about it. Clearly, something inside moves the patch within the frame.
