I re-calibrated the rangefinder on this Voigtländer Vitoret DR, and this is a test of my work. Infinity was quite off, so photos from the first roll were pretty soft. Although I couldn't find anything specific for this camera, the mechanism is simple and easy to access, so I lucked out. I also cleaned the viewfinder; I loved how big it was, but it was foggy before. I'm not confident to tackle the shutter, so I still only have 1/125th and 1/300th, but that's good enough for me. The focus is good now. Overall, a fun rangefinder; it's reasonably light and pretty quiet. I love the shutter button in front too!

My Minolta SRT 102 is back from a CLA. Viewfinder is clean now, spacing between shots is good with no overlapping, and curtain opens properly to fully expose each frame.

I picked up an Argus C3 and Argus C-3 Match-Matic recently, to join the C33. I did a bit of a CLA on the C3, so it operates adequately. Need to run some fresh film through it now.
