Hello Everybody,
I want to change rangefinder cams for my TOP mounted rangefinder on my Crown Graphic. Is this a "do it yourself" job? Or is this a job for a technician? I have a 127mm cam I want to install so I can use that focal length with the rangefinder. It presently has the cam for a 135mm lens. I am careful but don't want to start a job I can't finish. |

Thanks Bert,
Your information on installing the new cam really helped! Turned out to be easy. I also had the matching distance scale for the cam so was in business pretty quick! Many thanks to you!
Best regards,
Bob P. (as a youngster lived in Shafter, CA not far from Bakersfield)

Any chance that you no longer have a use for that 135mm cam? My Crown has a 135mm lens, but seems to be otherwise set up for a 127mm. I know that the rangefinder is out of whack with the lens, and it's been verified that the bed scale is for a 127.
If you'd be willing to part with the cam, I'd be interested. Failing that, if you would be willing to scan it or photograph it (contact print it?) then I could use the pattern to make one for my rangefinder.
Cheers
Norm

Dear Norm,
Would have, but already gave the cam&distance scale in trade to a local party! Sorry!
Best regards,
Bob P.
