Interesting. I didn't know there were so many places adjustments could be made. I think I'm just going to cut and grind a piece of glass and see what it shows. It will be easier than waiting for film to come back. The m7 seems to have parallax correction, but does anybody know how far off the rangerfinder box can be off from the center of a lense itself, or is this always lined up correctly on a 35 or 50mm lense?
