I'm slightly confused regarding short focal length calibraton and infinity calibration.
I've repaired 2 cameras. A Canon Canonet and a Konica Auto S2. Both working perfectly now but I wish to now check the rangefinders.
Are there 2 separate methods for calibrating. Shorter focal lengths and infinity ?.
I have a Canon AV-1 for collimation purposes.
Any help would be most appreciative.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

OK, me again. Short focus at 1m perfect, infinity focus 100m+ perfect.
All that is left to do is vertical rf alignment on the Auto S2.
Can anyone help with this adjustment ?.

This is for the Auto S1.6, but I think the S2 is the same:

Cheers Donnie,
Looks pretty much the same.
