Ah!  Vertical alignment isn't that hard, either.  As you look to the front
of the camera, you will note the round window to the left (towards the
speed dial and film-advance knob).  Unscrew the cover (the outer rim is a
threaded cover ring).  The lens itself will be revealed, surrounded by a
brass holder.  This is actually a prism.  Turn the lens, gently and only a
small distance.  Saute to taste, as it says here, and you're done!

These same adjustments, incidentally, work on most FED and Zorki cameras
and on quite a few Japanese LTM cameras as well.
