Hello all, I have an issue with the Makina ,when I focus on infinity, it seems that is impossible to get to focus properly on the viewfinder, on my shots, I can see that it does focus properly on film, so ,is there any way to adjust the rangefinder on this canera? Thanks

So the problem on this camera is that on infinity the two images just don't get to meet each other. I found something about calibration of infinity, but I'm not sure this would be the problem on this camera, as using the infinity as a reference, the shots are focused properly, even if the two images don't meet each other 100% on the viewfinder.

I guess this one is more about the same

The thing is I have no clue where the adjustment screw might me on this camera
