Rangefinder adjustment on a Canon IVSB

Recommended Posts

<p>I have an option on a Canon IVSB whose only flaw seems to be that the rangefinder is a little out of alignment. I am not sure if it measures the distance accurately or not, but the two images do not line up. Has anyone experience adjusting rangefinders on these cameras?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>It's <em>exactly</em> the same as on a screwmount Leica. Vertical adjustment (do first) by removing the trim ring on the round window on the front, and rotate the wedge prism that is a friction fit in that hole. Horizontal adjustment (with a known properly built and calibrated lens set to infinity) by removing the screw on the front, and using a small screwdriver to the set-screw inside that hole.<br>

The moon is a great "infinitely distant" target to use, and is quite bright at the moment every night.</p>
