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.

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.
