Can be done, is not very hard, BUT I highly recommend getting exactly the right size allen wrench (1.3mm recommended by one site), because it is very easy to strip the hole with a 0.050" SAE.

yeah...

this has been covered i think a while ago... years ago maybe.

theres little allen screw things in the mirror box. you turn them accordingly to adjust front or back focus... of course this doesn't do it individually. it does it to all your lenses
