I have a GRZ3 and a GRZ103.?ÿ

I can loosen the screws on the eyepiece to move it a little, but not enough. Anyone have instructions on getting inside to?ÿadjust it?

The GRZ3 is about?ÿa mm. out but the GRZ103 is about 3mm. ?ÿ

Thanks, A

I figured that out, but it's not enough. I might have to take drastic measures with a file so it can move more.

When the orginal adjusting screws are not enough to correctly adjust the setup, it is an indication that the equipment has experienced a major event like being dropped on concrete or have been struck very hard in some manner.

It can also be that the level bubble is too far off to adjust properly.

Is it definitely a genuine Leica? I had that problem with a copy GRZ3.

Yes, it's the real deal. Carrying it up and down the hills through the bush on a tripod for 19 years now has taken it's toll on it.

The GRZ103 is really my bigger problem. I have to set it up over the point, turn it 180 and split the difference, but my I-man doesn't really do that.

Sound like you need to adjust your I-man.

Sounds to me like you need to take it in for servicing.?ÿ After 19 years it deserves a day at the spa.
