RF adjustment on Rollei XF35?

[DougK]

Just got this eBay purchase in the mail today and it seems in fine condition except for a slight problem with the rangefinder adjustment. When the lens is set to infiinity, the rangefinder image is not quite horizontally aligned, just a smidge off.

Does anybody have any experience with what's involved in adjusting the rangefinder on this camera? If not, can you suggest some resources I can go check? Having never done this kind of thing before, I wouldn't mind some advice before I dive in and truly make a mess of things. Oh, and I should mention I don't mind making a test case out of this camera, as I have many more to play with and I haven't developed an emotional attachment to this camera yet 🙂

The RF adjustment is one in front covered by the leatherette under the RF window, the other one is the mirror the 45 degree semi-transparence mirror is fixed in place by two or four spring move the mirror back and forth to adjust the FR, I can not remember which one is adjust the vertical and horizontal, try to peel the leatherette adjust first. regards

RF adjustment on Rollei XF35?

Hello.
My first post.

I too have a new (to me) Rollei XF35.
The rangefinder adjustment screw (horizontal) is under the leatherette, under the viewfinder window.
The question now is; what do you adjust it to? Infinity or to where the focus is more noticeable, like a metre?
