I successfully turned around my most expensive camera to date, a GS645S, I cleaned the VF, lubed the RF assembly, glued some plastic back together, removed some oil in places it shouldn't have been and seals are light tight but the infinity focus is just a little bit off and it's annoying.

The RF is accurate even at minimum focus distance but for some reason infinity doesn't line up perfectly, if the lens is set to infinity the focus is as such and the negatives looked good on the test roll, where is the adjustment screw on this thing?

I FOUND IT and it's in the most freaking obvious place I cant believe I missed it there are a ton of threads about this camera online and no one knows where it is so for search engines sake I'm posting it here

Above the mirror are two flathead screws in recessed holes on the top. The small one is for vertical adjustment and the large one is horizontal and infinity focus adjustment. Turn them while looking in the finder at infinity and line the images up, do the same at 1m

J, I am having a really hard time finding any specific info on this focus adjustment besides your post. I know very little about my gs645s internally, and I am very cautious to not mess anything up that I wouldn’t know how to fix. Would you mind sharing some more info about how to get to these screws, exactly how you align them, and any other details that would help someone who is camera-tech illiterate? I would greatly appreciate it!

Oh my god someone found my post lol. Pull the top of the camera off to get to it. It's pretty easy the round thing on the advance lever screws off if you turn it the other way. Once you get the top off, everything is there.
