Hi,
Got a Lynx 14 recently. When holding the camera horizontaly and focusing, The 2 images in the focus spot line up side to side, but one image is floating above the other. Can I fix this using the small screws where the flash sits? If not, any help would be aprreciated. Thanks. Hope my description of the problem makes sense. Paul |

Will have to do RF adjustment as soon as camera restoration and test roll are through; but there are no screws on mine "where the flash sits". AFAIK one has to remove the top cover to have access to alignment screws.
I find useful what I saw on the net: daniel.mitchell.name/index.html (about Lynx 5000, including very useful pics). |

Thanks for responding. Actually, if you look at the hot shoe there is a protective metal plate covering the screws I spoke of. Use a flat head screwdriver to push in the direction away from the lens and you'll see them. The 5000 is the same way. I havent tried turning the screws yet but read this on Yashica Guy.com Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Paul |

Werner, I checked out your link and Yashica Guy again. I stand corrected, this repair stuff is new to me. The screws I spoke of are for adjusting focus at infinity. I'll read on. Thanks |

I am currently adjusting the rangefinder on my Lynx14E after swapping the half-silvered mirror. There seem to be two points of adjustment: one screw close to the right (fully silvered) mirror, and one on the left between the viewfinder entry lens and the half silvered mirror. Both affect inf adjustment and linearity, and after playing around with both adjustments for some time it seems that the screw on the right side rather adjusts linearity and the left one the inf focus.
There is also an adjustment on the silvered mirror base for vertical alignment. The small lens inside the viewfinder also can be adjusted vertically. |
