Vivitar 35ES infinity calibration

GregSted · 11-13-2005

Hello world.

My first RFF post, after spending the last year on the sidelines, looking on.

OK, I have a Vivitar 35ES in pretty good condition (bit of brassing, but at least it proves there IS brass in this thing). Trouble is the infinity... isn't. Doing a fairly thorough test, it appears that while the rangefinder is good the lens doesn't focus to infinity.

So, anyone know what I need to do? I'm not a pro, but I have no fear! Not yet, anyway.

By the way, and I'm sure you guys know this, but the Viv is pretty much the same as the Minolta 7SII, Revue 400, Konica S3, so whatever works for them should work for mine.

I shouldn't speak for him, but I think greyhoundman on this forum knows how to do it. I seem to remenber him instruction someone else on the subject. Look him up. Stu
