The title says it all, I have this camera in excellent condition, no problem with stiff focusing but the rangefinder needs to be adjusted.
Anyone ?

Also the infinity adjustment is accesible through a slot under the hot shoe cover plate

Thx but these pictures are for the Electro cameras, the original 35 (1958 first model) is quite different ?
I think that only an owner of this particular camera type can help, couldn't find info on the web, most info is for Electro and Lynx models.

Hi,
I'm poster of the 35RF stiff focussing question. When I acquired my camera the viewfinder was very cloudy. I removed the top plate and dismantled the viewfinder/rangefinder assembly, cleaned it and put it back together. Significantly, I don't remember much about the job and (unusually) didn't make any notes, all of which leads me to suspect that the fundamental disassembly process wasn't difficult. Without having helped with the correct RF adjustment procedure, I hope all that is encouraging. The cleaning made a world of difference for me.
Good luck,
Steve
