My F2AS dont show right focus at infinity, the mirror should be somewhat higher. How can I adjust it?

are you sure it is the camera body and not the lens? Try another lens to varify.

In any case usually it's not the mirror which has to be adjusted but the focussing screen or rather its frame. You will have to remove the prism assembly to get access to the adjustment screws - this probably will not be easy on a camera with electronic assemblies wrapped around the prism.

I think Winfred should rethink his reply...it's an F2AS....

It’s not the lenses. I can get correct focus by using the mirror locks a little bit, raising the mirror a fraction of a millimetre.
