An update (and I think if there's no suggestions this might be the last update, since I'm completely lost on how to finish this repair). Using both a long thin screwdriver as well as an offset (L-shaped) screwdriver I reached the screw. The thin screwdriver was a JIS + screwdriver and for the...

Having received and installed the new tape, the focus is now less than a quarter of the infinity sign turn off. So I wanted to proceed to adjust the mirror stop, but I realized I do not know how to turn this screw, since I can't properly reach it with my JIS screwdrivers. The screw is pretty...

Manual says, you can adjust at most half the length of the infinity symbol on the lens. As per initial discussion however, the distance is off by roughly half a meter on the 3m scale. If you calculate using the formula and looking at the distance scale on the planar, the screw should be able...

Leaving this here since this would be my conclusion also, but it's incorrect brbo The official repair manual says that focus adjustment must be done by opening the camera, shimming the washers under the viewfinder, and then corresponding adjustment via software for the AF CMOS. The fine...

Hi all, after applying 0.09 thick tape, the problem is significantly reduced and almost fixed, but alas, still ever so slightly off at infinity. I have ordered some industrial grate .1 thick tape since I suspect the 0.09 one was 'roughly' 0.09. Will update once I receive and applied the tape.

Thank you reddesert, this is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. Apologies for my unclear explanation - english is not my first language. To clarify: when I point the camera to an object at infinity (e.g. the moon), I cannot extend the lens focus enough to have the focusing screen...

Thank you Matt! Apologies for missing the repair forum. Thanks for the warm welcome! :)

Hi all, I recently purchased a contax AX to use with my C/Y lenses. When the camera arrived I checked for signs of repair of the dreaded mirror slip and sure enough there was some evidence of work done. The autofocus (done via a CMOS at the bottom of the mirror box) and the focusing split...
