[rollei_list] Re: a little unparallel of lens panel

Woody - what do you mean when you say 'the two sides of the lens panel don't move simultaneously?' How are you determining this?

What you see of the front of the camera is independent of the lens board. Let's call what you see - the black painted part with the lens bayonets, the Front Panel. The Front Panel is mounted to the Lens Board of the camera via shims. The Lens Board is mounted to Focus Struts via shims (Mr Bigler is incorrect regarding the four screws in the E TLRs). Most likely the Front Panel is incorrectly shimmed to the Lens Board and any discrepancy you see regarding 'misalignment' is cosmetic. It is possible the Lens Board is incorrectly shimmed, or the Focus Struts bent, but not likely.

As long as the pics you take are in focus along a flat plane, parallel to the film plane, I'd not worry about it.

regards,
todd

hi,

i found a problem with my 3.5e which i did not noticed when i bought.
when moving the focusing knob back and forth, the two sides of the
lens panel don't move simultaneously, hence can not keep totally
parallel to the camera body, the difference between two sides is about
1mm.

i want to know that whether this 1mm unparallelled is a big problem?
and is it possible to repair it by myself?  i live in china and don't
believe here local repair stores.

thanks.
