I just pulled the beamsplitter from a 5000e and installed it in my Lynx 14. Unfortunately, although the coating on the old beamsplitter looked pretty ragged, the new one hasn't solved the problem. Seems I'll need to go into the rangefinder a little further and see what's amiss.
Before I do that, is there some way I can be sure the new beamsplitter is correctly positioned? Its placement is really critical, and I'm concerned that I might not have it correct. I realize there are adjustments for vertical and horizontal positioning, but what if the glass isn't exactly perpindicular to the base? Or if it isn't set at a 45 degree angle? Won't that mean that placing the subject in various areas of the patch will cause the focus to change? Have any of you run into problems in this area of repair? I have another camera that needs this too, so I want to get it right.  |

be sure the reflective side is toward the rear and get all old cement off of beam s. seat and get in as good as you can. If not perfect, there should be adjustments to take care of any error in position--if not, it si trial and error. You will likely have adj distance setting when done. Infinity is not critical as depth of field will take care of that. I would recommend 15 feet. |
