As luck would have it, I didn't fall on my arse, but I toppled forward over my two left feet, and fell, dropping my M6 which was around my neck so that the baseplate dinked the pavement- I now have a very professional looking scuff on one end!!! I also misaligned the RF so that when I was shooting the moon one night, I noticed the images in the RF did not quite coincide! Now, would it be better to diddle with the little screw, or just wait until I fall down and hopefully dink the other end of the camera, and put it back into adjustment!!?? I have a selection of small ball pein hammers-brass, steel, in various weights- which would you recommend as an adjustment tool, so I don't have to trust to the luck of how the cards or camera might fall?
