This is quite the thread revival, but I too am looking for help with a seemingly errant rangefinder on my Wista 45 RF.
No matter what cam I select, I can get sharp focus on the ground glass but the image in the rangefinder will approach but won't fully align with a subject ~3m away. When focused at infinity on the ground glass the rangefinder does not agree. The manual states that the coupler for the rangefinder should be able to focus from infinity to 1.11m with the 150mm lens.
The seller reported the rangefinder was functional and aligned when it was sold (serviced by a local camera shop).
In my case, I have a couple of challenges.
- I'm new to this camera, though I'm pretty sure I'm following the instructions correctly per the manual and various discussion threads.
- The labels on the cam indicator spin freely, so I'm not sure what cam is selected.
- A small black screw fell out when I first opened the camera. I haven't figured out yet where it came from.
I PM'd Ari so maybe they'll swing by and share some thoughts.
