Hi,

I have a Minox 35ML that I have managed to get working. The magnets needed cleaning & also the shutter needed adjustment. 2 screws had fallen out in the lens which were stopping the aperture ring from turning.
I set the focus ring to infinity before I removed it & marked it up with Tipex before removing the front element.
Despite doing this, the focus is slightly off.
Is there a way I can hold the shutter open & use a ground glass screen to adjust this, as the 1 or 2 second longest exposure time is not long enough for my eyes to focus!
Any advice appreciated
Thanks,
Colin
