Just bought an S3 and it's in pretty good condition. The meter works, and is accurate, which I'm happy about, but the rangefinder is off. The rangefinder aligns to infinity at the 15ft mark. I took the top plate off, and looked around at things and only managed to find the vertical alignment, but it looks like the mechanism that changes the horizontal alignment is underneath the rangefinder. A search on this site (and others) has lead to the knowledge that the screw to alter the horizontal alignment is under that screw in the film chamber underneath the viewfinder. My question is what size screwdriver do I need to fix this? I'd hate to have to send this in for a repair for something that seems so simple. And I really want to use this camera. Thanks for any help
