Can the M6 rangefinder image alignment be tweeked or is it one of those
"in spec or replace" issues I saw reference to in another post?  I had my
M6 to NJ for a tune-up and then returned under warranty due to a little
misalignment of the range and viewfinder images.  Could they feel that it's
within specification even though I can see it and have to modfiy my focusing 
technique (compared to "perfect" alignment)?

Thanks,
