Hello,
i just got myself a Zenit ET on ebay, along with three lenses. None of them focuses on infinity, which means that the mirror needs to be adjusted.
The screen is already in its lowest possible position. Trouble is, there is no adjustment screw on the right side of the mirror, where it should be. The mirror instead rests on the lower part of the arm which raises it on release, on its left side.
Funny enough, there is a long screw on the left, but it sticks out horizontally, and the lever which presses the auto-aperture button on the lens rests on it.

Has anyone an idea what happend to this camera? Perhaps a construction error? Im quite positive that someone has messed with it, but i somehow can´t believe that he bent that screw with the solid piece of metal it sits on out of place.

yours very flustered,
Karl
