Bell & Howell Filmo 70 Viewfinder lenses adjustment

How to adjust the focus of the viewfinder lenses of a Bell & Howell camera Filmo 70 DL so that what appears in the viewfinder remains sharp when changing lens?


I have two viewfinder lenses, one is for the focal 1", the other for the 0.7". If I set the viewfinder to get a sharp image with one of the lenses, with the other lens, the image is completely blurred.


Viewfinder lenses contain two lenses, one has two convex faces, the other has a flat surface and the other convex. How to position inside the lenses?

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no way to adjust viewfinder one by one finders. Try to remove them from different places and see if something is changing.

Or try another finder, especially 1" which are most common. They are not expensive. One has something been moved in it.

Anyway, it doesn't matter the "real" lens focus, just not very handy if it not absolutely sharp when you shoot.

Here you can find Filmo's manual :
