My problem is probably too simple to find answer for by searching the forums (at least I didn't find) . I bought MPP Micro technical mk8 and cannot figure how to adjust the camera for rangefinder to work properly.
How far should the lensboard be pulled that rangefinder and groundglass image are both focussed in same distance? I don't have a manual for the camera but Linhof Technika IV (or III) is very similar and users guide for that camera mentions these infinity stops that tell how far the lensboard should be extented. Should my MPP have these infinity stops too or is there something else I am missing. Lens and the rangefinder cam should be original.
I have "calibrated" the camera by looking when the groundglass image and the rangefinder meet but it's not very practical in some situations.
