I expect the Leica USA tel. number/s would be on the web site, and so it is: http://www.leica-camera.com/unternehmen/international/usa/contact/index_e.html Leica Camera Inc. 156 Ludlow Avenue Northvale, NJ 07647 Phone: (800) 222-0118 (201) 767-7500 Fax: (201) 767-8666 regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Carleton, Sam [SMTP:Sam.Carleton@FMR.COM] Sent: 05 March 2001 15:00 To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: RE: [Leica] Leica Focomat V35 alignment - -:> -----Original Message----- - -:> From: Dan Post [SMTP:dpost@triad.rr.com] - -:> Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2001 2:54 PM - -:> - -:> First, you take a small ball pein hammer...... - -:> - -:> Seriously, sounds like either one or more of the - -:> elements has shifted- may need a collimation.... - -:> perhaps? No? Dan, I don't think it is an element shift issue. The way I am checking is by taking a .5inch x 3inch piece of glass that is rubber banded to the outside of the lens.

The laser sits on the base board and is reflected off a piece of paper on the little piece of glass. - -:> -----Original Message----- - -:> From: Jem Kime [SMTP:jem.kime@cwcom.net] - -:> Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2001 1:16 PM - -:> I looked at my V35 last night and couldn't see a - -:> way of realigning it.
