<p>Hi,<br> I´ve been a happy Bessa user for nearly a decade: long ago using an R4M, an R3A and two T´s. They have never given me any problem... 100% lucky with my Voigtlander lenses too, the 15mm, the tiny 28mm 3.5 and the 40mm 1.4. Although I love my only Leica, a Barnack IIIf RD, it sees much less use... All I ever needed with my Bessas was adjusting my R3A's vertical alignment once, and that took me just one minute, including the hot shoe removal, gently using a simple small screwdriver for vertical alignment, as a web site explains.<br> Today I removed one of my Bessa T's hot shoe, thinking of doing the same, a quick vertical alignment, but I sadly found I can't access that way its screws for rangefinder calibration because below the hot shoe there's no hole: no way to go through the top plate...<br> So here I am asking if someone has ever corrected a Bessa T's vertical alignment... Unfortunately I am living in South America (Colombia) and sending a camera for service in the U.S. means a really huge risk of losing the camera before it reaches there, and not even shipping insurance helps: post companies here are allowed not to refund the price of any customer's items sent because of very high levels of corruption and unsecurity... Yes, I know it's unbelievable... So I need some guide to do it for myself or, if it's not easy (I'm no expert), I need to give some information to the only repair guy here, who's old and doesn't even use internet, but has experience with older rangefinders and mechanical cameras, but never with Bessas...<br> Thanks a lot for any guide or comment... All stories can help!</p> <p>Cheers,<br> Juan</p>
