Hello all
I have just aquired a Voigtlander Avus with Skopar lens, Compur shutter, sheet film holders and a RADA back. Unfortunately the front standard , and therefore the lens, is not parrallel with the film back. I have had a good look and can't see any obvious adjustment, save for bending the "sled" at the base of the standard (the bit that holds the standard to the rails).
As it is the top of the lens leans back slightly towards the camera body. There is no play in the rails or the "sled" once the spring clamp has been released.
Hope someone can stop me taking pliers to precision machinery.
Thanks
Jim Hallett
