I just picked up a Zeiss Super Ikomat A 520 and the rangefinder is out of adjustment. I checked the lens with ground glass on the focal plane and it seems ok but the rangefinder is way off compared to the barrel markings. I googled for adjustment info and found a lot about the Super Ikomat's successor the Super Ikontas and adjustment is very straight forward for that camera.... loosen the screw on the focus thumb wheel which disengages the thumb wheel from the lens. then simply align a distant object while the lens is at infinity. When I loosen the screw on my thumb wheel the wheel stays engaged with the focus ring. It seems to be a different set up than with the Ikontas. Does anyone know the proper way to adjust the Super Ikomat?
