Having a Leningrad range finder sitting on my desk - but no idea how to adjust the range finder which is quite a bit of, a real distance of 8 yards is infinity on the range finder. Otherwise the camera seems to be fine...just 45-46 years old.

doing a "Google" on "adjusting rangefinders" will come up with a number of hits.

That's right but so far nothing for Leningrads and plenty for Zorki/Fed etc. Compared to Zorki/Fed Leningrads are quite rare. :sad:
