Jerky parallax following and rough jerky shutter release on one, and vertical misalignment on the other. I just solved the shutter release problem myself this afternoon after a couple of fruitless attempts to solve the problem via skilled repairmen (a small drop of sewing machine oil down the centre of the release - _very_ small - and it's now as smooth as I could wish for) while the jerky parallax following has pretty much solved itself . The vertical misalignment is still a problem on the other body. It seems to me that many of the problems commonly encountered with the M6 are minor and could be easily solved by the user with a few simple tools and a good repair book. Rangefinder problems mainly. I'd be happy to pay, say $150 for a gtood manual and the tools, just to know that the camera wouldn't have to go off for 6 months for a dubiously effective repair job. That I could fix it myself on assignment or during a long trip abroad. Any offers? Does anyone know of such a manual or where the specialist tools can be bought? Rob.
