I am a young (20) M6 user.  Although I am not a member of this group, Tom 
Shea has allowed me to access the LUG because of a question I have.

When I focus on a very distant object (a tower about 2 miles away), the split 
images do not converge exactly.  

My first question is whether this means that my photos will be slightly out 
of focus.

Second, I understand that there may be an adjustment I can make.  I  can't 
figure out which screw to turn.

After removing the lens, at the top inside of the camera there are two 
screws.  One is a small screw at the center of an eccentric cam.  The second 
is a larger slotted screw head at the pivot point of two arms.  (One arm is a 
short piece of metal and the other is a roller.

Before I start turning either screw, I would appreciate knowing which one is 
the right one.  (I can't afford to send this camera to a repair person).  

Thanks for your help
