Hi Zuiks,
thanks for your response.
Well, I am sure it is not the parallax. The viewfinder looks "up" indeed.
Vise-Grips are a kind of foreceps? Sounds like a slightly brutal
method, William is suggesting. How is the viewfinder hold in place,
just friction or glued or some adjustment screws?
Thanks and best regards, Thomas

"The camera/gun does not kill..." -- Susan Sontag
She must never have seen some of Richard Avedon's portraits.
"I recently acquired a XA. Everything seems to work fine. One little thing
bothers me: The viewfinder is quite a bit off, meaning that the picture
taken is shifted downwards compared to the viewfinder frame by about 200f
the image height.
"Is it possible to adjust the viewfinder? Can I do it by myself? Anybody
knows how?"
This error occurs because the viewfinder is tipped backwards, looking "up."
To fix it, get a pair of Vise-Grips and clamp them over the viewfinder. Then
push forward until the viewfinder is properly aligned.
