Since the M6 and cost cutting measures by Leica, the adjustment now can only be made with a special tool and necessitates removing the "red dot." Apparently Leica felt they could set this once at the factory, put a spot of shellac on the threads, and it would be maintenance free. Wrong. The old, more adjustable mechanism was much better and more easily set than the new one. >> Why can't Solms go back to the better mechanism?
