Subject: [Leica] Leica M6 viewfinder frames

I am starting to have problems with the switching of the viewfinder 
frames. The default frames (35mm + 135mm) are ok but switching to the 
50mm + 75mm is getting to be a problem and it is almost impossible to 
get the 28mm + 90mm frames up. For the latter I have to hold the 
selector lever to the 35mm setting and let it spring back. It takes 
many attempts to get the 28mm frame up this way. It's a problem using 
the selector lever and the auto switching when mounting the lens.

The camera is still under warranty so I suppose I will have to return 
it to Leica UK but I would be interested to know the mechanics behind 
the frame switching.
