nathaniel_pearson Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Does anyone know how to adjust the rangefinder on the T? I've had the top off to clean the VF optics, and would like to tweak the RF (focuses a bit too far out at close range). But I see no way to access the RF housing, short of unscrewing the electronics board (which I would not risk doing). One would think there'd be an easy-access set screw somewhere, as on most RF cameras. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathaniel_pearson Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Oops, just noticed the date limit for this forum. In 1970, my Contax T was just a twinkle in some Kyocera engineer's eye. But help would still be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john falkenstine Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 As I have noted before, there are plenty of folks who have something mechanical made AFTER 1970. Too bad photo.net just can't catch on to this fact. Even getting THIS forum going met with skepticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_s. Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Nathaniel, Just a thought. On some short baselength RFs there is an adjustment from inside the film chamber w/o the need to take the top off. I have no idea if this the case on the Contax T. Look for a screw in the film chamber just above the upper rail. This screw would be removed to uncover a horizontal adjustment screw.
