Hello,
I have Canonet (first model), while focusing the double image do coincide horizontally but not vertically. But I beleive it can still able to focus. What do you say about that.
Looking forward,
Regards,
Rizwan |

Yes, as long as the horizontal is accurately calibrated. But why wouldn't you correct the vertical? |

Thanks Brian. For two reasons. I have no idea how to remove the timer ring on top and have no clue where to find the vertical adjustment screw. |

Please see the answers to your identical posting on photo.net (Classic cameras) for link to info on how to remove camera top. That info might be just what you need! |

Is the camera set to "A"? When set to A, the shutter is locked unless there is enough light for an exposure. It is also locked at A if the battery is dead or missing. Set the aperture ring to a manual setting and see if the shutter works that way. |
