[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I asked a question about dim rangefinder's earlier in the week but I may not have phrased it correctly. I am interested in purchasing an M3. It is a double stroke in beautiful condition, however focussing is difficult because the rangefinder patch appears dim to me. The split image is only faint. Can this problem be repaired ? . The shop owner where the camera is for sale says that it is a repair that should only be carried out by Leica in Germany. He says the rangefinder prism's are desilvering. He says that Leica Germany would simply fit new M6 prisms. Can anyone confirm that this would be correct ? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Tony Salce
