Jean-Claude,

I haven't received the camera back yet, but my understanding is that Sherry
will be replacing my old M5 frames, which had begun to de-cement giving an
effect which looked like fungus on the rangefinder spot, with a new set
which is still an M5 set, including the meter area marks, but now including
the 75mm frame but not the 28mm frame. She did offer me the option of
fitting the M4-P/M6 frames, including the 28mm frame.

As I said, I haven't had the camera back yet, but my communications with
Sherry have left me feeling confident that she knows the M5 as well as
anyone.

Simon.
