As a soon to be M6 owner, I am very interested to read the various nuts =
and bolts that are prone to loss. It seems like the viewfinder and =
battery cover are the two biggies.=20

1). A tiny drop of loctite on the viewfinder thread dows not sem =
unreasonable. Many screws holding electro-mechanical devices onto =
circuit boards have a drop of some sort of glue on them as they are =
manufactured anyway. Besides, one drop of loctite vs. a $70 viewfinder?=20

2). Battery cover. I am getting a hard ever-ready case, and have been =
assured that the bottem part and top part unsnap. I would like to just =
leave the bottem part on the camera to protect it from knocks. Hopefully =
the bottem part covers the battery compartment. then it would be less =
likely to be lost.

Any other bits to watch out for?

Thanks,
Bob
