Looking at the attached photo of the open top of a Voigtlander RF, can anyone tell me which screw is used to adjust the vertical alignment of the rangefinder? I am seeing too many viable possibilities and I don't want to mess anything up while trying to make this one adjustment.

Thanks, Msiegel. Assuming that "vertikal" means the same thing vertical does, that should do it!

Well, Martin, with those instructions, the rangefinder was a snap to adjust. Thanks again.

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy your Bessa RF as much as I enjoy mine.
