G'day Hai,

Always adjust the alignment at infinity first. This is the adjustment closest to the eyepiece end of the rangefinder arm.

This can be regarded as the main adjustment. It can be out of adjustment if the rangefinder casting shifts slightly from a the camera having been dropped, or if someone has forced something.

The close-focus adjustment on a rangefinder like this rarely needs any attention, there is no way it can easily fall out of adjustment.

Once the infinity position is correct, this probably can be left alone.

If after adjusting for infinity you then decide that close-focus really does need adjustment, you will find the two adjustments interact and you will have to work on both the infinity and close-focus adjustments together.

Regards, Chris
