The Contax II and III used the same mount, as well as the postwar Contax IIa and Contax IIIa models. The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU.The Zeiss Ikon Contax I introduced a new lens mount in 1932, today known as Contax rangefinder mount. Return to the 3 foot target and adjust the lower rf adjustment screw until coincidence is obtained.Ĭontinue switching between infinity and 3 foot until no adjustment is needed to either.Ĭheck the range finder against the ground glass image at several intermediate distances. Now move the movable mirror until the range finder is in coincidence and secure the movable mirror to the shaft with the set screw.Īdjust the top rf adjustment screw until infinity is in coincidence and adjust the lateral adjustment if needed. Secure the actuator arm according to the linked instructions. Set up the lens infinity if not already done.įocus the lens on a test target 3 feet away. Reassemble the range finder base and mount it on the camera. Set the adjustment screw on the lower and intermediate cams to center, equal number of screw threads either side of the cams.
The cam shaft slides in until it bottoms against the case and the back edge will be flush on the back side of the tube. The mirror block goes into the tube with the set screw at the rear and the mirror facing the window.
The coating was bad on both making it hard to see anything through them. The gold transparent contrast coating came off both of these rf's mirrors when touched with a cotton swab moistened with Windex. The movable mirror block will drop out also. Work the cam shaft back and forth while pulling outward until it comes out of the range finder. The long side goes against the body and is positioned down with the shorter side up and against the cam below the adjustment screw. Remove the spring between the lower cam and body. With the range finder removed from the camera and the bottom tube cap removed loosed the set screw holding the movable mirror block to the cam shaft. The lateral adjustment is accomplished by loosening one screw while tightening the other. The roll pin lays into a slot on the prism between the mount/adjustment screws. Removing the screws allow the prism and its mount roll pin to slide the length of the tube. The two screws on the outside edge about 1/3 the main tube length from the top hold the 50/50 fixed mirror prism in place and provide the lateral adjustment. The caps are installed by placing them onto the main tube and taping into place with a screwdriver handle until they are flush to the tube. The end caps of the main square tube can be removed by carefully prying them out with a small slot (common) screwdriver by placing the tip between the tube and cap.
The window glass is cemented in place on both RFs and removing the covers only allowed the outside of the glass to be cleaned easily.

The Name plate between the windows has no internal access under it. The socket head screws are the easiest to adjust. One of these RFs adjustment screws has slot head screws and one has the 1/16 allen wrench socket head screws. The adjustments are under the thin long plate at the base of the range finder next to the camera body (referenced instructions, 7th bulleted line). The focal length the range finder is made for is printed on the base of the range finder which is next to the camera body when the range finder is installed on a camera. I currently have two Anniversary Speeds in for repair, both with Model 4C Hugo Meyer side range finders.
