Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of getting my R3a and the 50mm Summicron that I keep attached to it looked at. The RF has recently gone a bit out of alignment vertically, and so it's getting tricky to focus, or even see if it's out horizontally as well. Is it possible for me to do this myself? I would, however, only want to do it if it is straightforward, as the Camera is likely to be the best I have for quite a while.
Also, the 70s 'cron has always had a tiny smear of oil (I think) on the apeture blades. Now, I'm happy with the results, and shining a torch through the lens, I think the glass is pretty clear. So, should I worry, or leave it for a couple of years?
If I do need someone to see either the camera or lens, could someone recommend a place in central London. I'd love to be able to drop it off myself and not have to wait for the postman.
Thanks for any help,
David
