Hi I'm new here, just found this site. It seems full of interesting information but I have searched and can't find anything about how to adjust focus on a Super Ikonta III.
I placed the camera at exact 2 meters from the target and checked with a ground glass on the film rails. The range finder is off with about 40 cm closer to the camera.
Could some kind soul please help me with some instructions?

The Super Ikonta III has a different rangefinder compared to earlier Super Ikontas. It's build completly into the Topcover.

I have a III, it didn't need a rangefinder adjustment so i didn't perform that but i made a set of photos of the system while cleaning it. You can find them here :

Again, i'm not sure if the rangefinder can be adjusted with these 2 screws. Hope somebody else does.

Thank's for the link. Will check it out during the weekend. Luckily I have another pretty beat up Super Ikonta III that I can practice on.
