When you take the lens off the largest most obvious round thing at the top and very front of the camera has a screwdriver slot in the front of it. It can be turned with not a very small screwdriver. You turn it so that tree in the horizon or the horizon itself lines up as one image. You have to put the lens back on to do this. Off and on until you get it right. Would kill for a Linhof just got a catalog brochure. Mark Rabiner
