I got a really good deal on a 4550 kit on my local Craigslist.

I can see that the negative and lens stages are a little bit misaligned relative to each other. About 2-3mm front to back and side to side.

Does anyone know how I would go about aligning it? The manual doesn’t say anything about how to.

Otherwise, will this level of misalignment be noticeable when printing 6x6 negatives at ~ 5x enlargements? For 4x5 negatives I’d only enlarge by 2-3x max.

Thanks,
