Monochrom focusing problem

I dropped my Monochrom and now, when you look through the rangefinder window, there is a VERTICAL missadjustment which does not seem to affect the overall focus of the image. I had the lens checked out and it is fine. Any ideas on what is causing this and how it can be fixed?

Thank you

Focus, or inability to get correct focus is a major reason for rangefinder camera failure.  Two camera faults which lead to bad focus are incorrect lens register and misadjusted rangefinders. (Source:http://jay.fedka.com/index_files/Page422.htm)

If your lense works well, i think the rangefinder is misadjusted.

I suppose I should send it to Leica New Jersey for adjustment. Thank you.

Better take it to an independent repairer. This is a ten minute repair job, but Leica will take considerably longer than that.
