Ahh.  Cool beans.  I wouldn't mind giving it a try myself.  In  fact I
tried to adjust the vertical alignment last  night.  ^_^

I removed the tiny screw  above the lens mount from the top plate last
night and didn't  see another screw below.  I saw another tiny hole
below  that moved slightly from left to right when I threw the lens'
focus from one extreme to the other.  It was hard to make out  anything
behind the hold, but it looked like some tiny  threads or something of
that sort.  I figured this was  the newer style that required the
special tool.  I  really have idea though.  I don't have another body to
compare it with.
