Hello! After I dropped my m4, rangefinder's main prism became loose. I took it as a chance to disassemble and clean other optical components as well. since the field lens behind framelines had balsam separation, I recemented it too. Now, after reassembly, I can adjust rangefinder for infinity but not for close range, even when setting the focussing arm at its longest position, the "gain" is too much, at least for my set of Jupiter lenses. I can't se any obvious additional adjustment points for this, can you? Or can anyone give some tips for proper assembly of m rangefinder? Any help will be appreciated!
