The Vitomatic 2A rangefinder can be adjusted in both vetical and horizontal planes. The horizontal plane is that to which Markus refers. The vertical adjustor is the square-headed slotless screw as can be seen at the top left of the posted picture. There is an unusual feature of the Vitomatic 2A rangefinder in that the window glass of the rangefinder objective is NOT a plain piece of glass but is a shallow prism. That is to say it is approx' 1.5mm thick at one end and only 1mm thick at the opposite end. If that glass has been removed for cleaning; the prismatic factor not noticed and then put back 180 degrees wrongly, it becomes impossible to get a proper adjustment of the horizontal rangefinder plane. So if you can't get correct horizontal image coincidence, you now know where to look. Hope this helps. |
