I recently got my hands on a 4x5 Technika III version 5 s/n 60072 with three lenses (90, 150, 240) and corresponding (matching lens and body nos) cams and distance indicators.
My problem is that I do not manage in making the rangefinder focus correctly for all three lenses: if I adjust it e.g. for the 150, it will be out of focus for the other two.
Also, when I focus to infinite, the indicator on the scale is not at infinite but e.g at 30m (for the 240mm). In other words, when pulling out the front standard and having it snap into the infinite stop, it is not focused on infinite but needs to be extended about 7mm to be in focus. So finder, scale and groundglass do not correlate...
The only place I know to adjust the rangefinder is below the unit.
Of course I can work with it without a functioning but it seems I'm just missing something simple here and would love to have it function flawlessly...
Thanks for any suggestion!
