  • I have the Zorki 6 rangefinder camera and I've never used one of these before so it's kinda confusing. Nothing really happens when I turn the zoom lens.

  • @KeeperOfTheMetalKeys You have a zoom lens on a rangefinder?? That's pretty weird; never seen that. If this is a prime lens and you're turning the focusing ring and the double image doesn't move, there is something wrong between the lens and the rangefinder prism/mirror. If you do not have a double image at all, check to see if you have one or more fingers blocking the window for the rangefinder. This is super common when the rangefinder is that far to the left. Practice a new grip, fingers away

  • @KeeperOfTheMetalKeys Damn. To the right, of course.

  • hi, nice info in here.

    Can you also give info about Alympus Trip 35 parallax correction marks in it viewfinder? Still dont understand it, since its kinda PnS camera back from oldschool :)

    thank you and regards

  • @dodiheruphotography (continued2) there are cradles available with a handle on the side that you mount between the camera and the tripod. You compose the image/focus/set everything up, then you flip the handle on the side of the camera, and it's jacked up the same distance as the distance between the lenses. Most modern rangefinders just move the composition frame slightly when you focus.

    I hope this helps! :)
