Hello,
 
I am the owner of a Zeiss IKON ZM (Leica M-mount) rangefinder camera. I would like to know how to adjust the infinity setting of the rangefinder, as it is off.
 
  This seems to be THE most frequent complaint on this camera.

This must be pretty new: doesn't the warranty cover something like this?

It is out of warranty as it was bought more than a year ago. However, I would be very much interested in doing it myself.
 
 Some brave guy took the flash mount apart only to discover a hidden screw there:

It's common in RF cameras to provide adjustment access through a hole under the shoe, but I don't know anything about the ZI .....

Had the same problem, Infinity off. Took the shoe off and the screw you see is the adjustment. Left turn will adjust if infininty is focusing to close and right if it's past. A very slight turn is all that should be required
