FED 3b rangefinder adjustment

[don_mckeith]

Does anyone know how to get at the horizontal adjustment.I looked on

line,and found instructions for every model FED/Zorki made,except

this one.I would think it would be behind the screw on the bottom

left of the viewfinder(looking at the front) but after removing the

screw,there is a very small hole-no way I'm getting a screw driver

in there.Do I have to remove the cover?

Thanks,Bill-

 

 

I"ll give it a shot.

On my FED 2, a small turn of the screw causes a relatively large deflection in rangefinder alignment. You don't want to turn it much. Also, when adjusting for infinity, pick something that's a LONG way off - not the house across the street. Suprisingly it makes a difference.

The moon is a nice object to set rangefinder at for infinity. Using a tripod makes life easier. Better to have the moon nearer to full than just a sliver.

 

Good luck,

 

Les

Don, check Rick Oleson's page <a href="http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-123.html" target="_blank">here</a> on bringing infinity indoors. Much easier than trying to fiddle with the adjustments outdoors, especially if outdoors happens to be cold and snowy.
