Hi everyone,
I’m having a problem with the vertical alignment of the rangefinder on my Canon VI L (same adjustment technique as a lot of other Canon rangefinders, including the P). I tried rotating the outer lens that usually adjusts the vertical alignment, but the secondary image always stays below the main one — it gets close to lining up, but never quite reaches perfect alignment.

I also tried removing the top plate to inspect things more closely, but now I’m not sure which of the three screws that pivot the mirror is the one to adjust for the vertical correction as rotating them doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
