Subject: Re: [Leica] RF Adjustment for Zorki 2 (Leica II Copy)

Sorry for the late reply but I tagged it then forgot about it until now. I
do not know if the Zorki is the same as a Leica II but here goes for the
Leica II:

The vertical alignment adjustment is done by rotating the rangefinder window
on the front of the camera which is closest to the shutter dial. The window
is really a small prism and it can rotate a full 360 degrees

The horizontal adjustment at infinity is made by first removing the cover
screw on the front of the camera next to the viewer window. The adjustment
screw then can be reached through this hole. It is not uncommon for the
adjusting screw to be seized and require the top to come off to get at the
rangefinder to free it.
