I had a devil of a time making the adjustment, because there is very little room in the area available for adjusting the top set screw, but I finally got it. These old rangefinders are the devil to repair because of their tight dimensions. My 35ES has a great lens, but I wish it had a longer rangefinder base. None of these little RF's seems to have the right combination of viewfinder/rangefinder and shutter features. The Hi-Matic E has a great viewfinder and rangefinder, but the auto-only programmed shutter. The 7SII, S3 and 35ES have more shutter control, but inferior viewfinders. It may be time to build a Frankenstein camera.
