Stanislav Galaktionov Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hello. Recently I got a Bolex REX 1 which is in a good condition, but the diopter adjustment seems to be broken. It doesn't do anything when I rotate it and the image in the finder is out of focus. Although the footage comes out Ok, so it's not a lens problem. I assume it just needs a minor fix, but I can't understand how to take off the top plate from the finder. On other Bolex models there screws that hold the plate, here I can't find any. I wonder if anyone had any experience with these and I really hope it's possible, at least it was relatively easy with Rex 3. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

After it’s off you can lift the top finder cover at the rear and slide it towards the front. From then on you see everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
