Subject: RE: [Leica] focus at infinity

My original M6 had an alignment problem at infinity. Solms and Sherry
Krauter said that it should align perfectly. My current M6 aligns perfectly
with my three lenses, 35/2 (3rd), 50/2 (4th), and 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit
(late). There is a radio tower on a hill, from five to eight miles away (as
the crow flies), that I use as a reference.
