Hi!

Anyone knowing where to find a Wista RF instruction book, preferable in Europe?
Is there some instructions on the Internet?

Regards,
Fredrik

ask Bob Salomon at HP Marketing. He's USA but can probably direct you to your local resource.

I used mine without a manual though I never used the lens stops or the range finder.

Hi!

It is the rangefinder system that I do not really understand, especially how to calibrate it, if possible. Right now the rangefinder doesn't measure accurate with my Nikkor W 135mm, compared to if you look at the image on the ground glass.

There are colored stops on the bed that correspond to each lens the RF is calibrated to. I believe they are 120mm, 135mm, 150mm, and 180mm. So to use the camera you first need to correlate the rangefinder frame with the colored lens stop. At least that is how I remember it. I read it somewhere or a photographer showed me. Personally I only used the ground glass.
