My rangefinder was set up for 135mm to begin with. The only "calibration" in my case was readjusting the infinity stops as the Symmar-s had a slightly different flange focal length than the original Optar 135. There is info on adjusting the rangefinders at graflex.org but I have never done it. You may be able to get away with 127 settings with a 135 lens. Otherwise you might want to get a Fujinon w 125, that surely would be close enuff. JCO

I used to do a lot of handheld shooting with my Speed Graphic. The rangefinder was rebuilt at New York Camera Repair in the 1980s, and it's dead nuts with the Wollensak 127.
