Ricoh 35s RF adjustment

[certifiable]

Hey Guys,

Just got a Ricoh 35s in the mail and he RF is vertically misaligned, does any one know where the screw is located to adjust this?

Thanx,
Stefan

Stephan, on the top of the camera you will see a small screw between the accessory shoe, and the shutter release. Remove this, and it gives you access to the vertical alignment with a small flat screwdriver. The horizontal adjustment is on the front, next to the viewfinder.

There seems to be multiple versions of the 35s, I have this version:

I only have the little screw between the accessory shoe and the film rewind knob and not between the accessory shoe and the shutter release and from what I can see ... there is nothing below/behind that little screw! 😕

And it's fixed... there is a little screw in the film compartment,

That's a later version, Stephan. The one I was thinking of looks like the Five-One-Nine. From the looks of that viewfinder window, I can see why it needed an alignment. Ouch!
