Einst_Stein Posted September 27, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Apparently the M viewfinder's infinite mismatch is a result of drifted screw position or some parts of the arms. What causes that? how to avoid? Any known practice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Hi Einst_Stein, Take a look here Best Practice to reduce/avoid ViewFinder infinity mismatch. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Exodies Posted September 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2018 When it happened to me it was a lens which had drifted. The effect was the rangefinder images wouldn’t overlap at the infinity stop. Sent lens to Leica, returned ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What causes that? how to avoid? Any known practice? just carry a 2mm hex key and spend a few seconds to adjust if needed. Not that it is a common occurrence.

John Ricard Posted October 1, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2018 just carry a 2mm hex key and spend a few seconds to adjust if needed. Not that it is a common occurrence. It might be helpful to post more detailed instructions. If the OP is asking how to adjust the lens, the small bit of information you are providing here isn't going to be helpful. Not trying to be disrespectful at all, so please pardon the tone of this post if it comes across negative. That is not my intention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted October 1, 2018 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2018 Best practice would be take a photograph with the focus ring at infinity and see if the image, at infinity, is actually out of focus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephengv Posted October 3, 2018 Share #7 Posted October 3, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) If this happens, is focusing at infinity using live view accurate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
