I have received a crown but it proved that the Camera is set-up for 127mm lens but I have a 135mm/4.7 lens

Now what do I have to change. Only the distance scales or also the finder blade?

There is a 2nd scale on the camera but it has no number on the back. Is there a place I can see sample scales to see what mine is for?

Where do I get these?

If you use the focus scales, then you'll need one matched to your lens. Just like lumber, the 127mm is a close approximation and when all of this stuff was new you could send your lens to graflex which would measure the focal length to 1/10 of a mm and give you one of 12+ scales they had for the 127 lens.

If you use the rangefinder, then you'll have to adjust it. Kalart side RF can be adjusted, Top RF's need a cam and again it's nice to find the exact cam for your lens

You'll also need to adjust the rail stops too which is part of adjusting the RF.

If you just want to use the ground glass, then you don't have to do anything.

finding the scales are the hardest. Keep asking the stores in our links page which can be found by going back to the home page.

There isn't a photo gallery of scales, there's a mathmatical way of figure it out but I've got a few too many irons in the fire right now to go through it.

Sorry, I mean Cam instead of blade

Are these ******* somewhere for the 135mm

which one should I have

Thanks les

Indeed I have a top range finder and would love to have it accurate. Are these cams ******* somewhere, or are the exact specs available somewhere so I can have one made?

BTW why is the word avai-lable blanked out each time???

Are you sure you didn't write "fer sail" ? Them words and "fer want" is taboo on the forum. "Available" should be ok.
