Hi All,

I got a fine GOMZ Leningrad (1964 built), everything works fine except rangefinder which is misaligned. I managed to align it vertically from the top cover opening (2 screws, 1 big, 1 small), but I don´t know how to align it horizontally as it works differently than the rangefinder of my Zorkis/FEDs.

It has a parallax correction which shifts the whole viewfinder image meanwhile the rangefinder spot in the middle (rectangular shape) stays in place.

There is also a screw under the rangefinder window behind which at my other russian babes you can find the screw for adjustment. But at my Leningrad, behind this screw there is nothing (or did someone screw it out until it felt off ??).

Any hint if it is possible to adjust it without removing the top cover etc. ? Any help would be highly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Markus from Germany
