Re: New M6 Rangefinder Problem

     Hi,
     
      I have seen several M bodies with the same problem before.  It does 
     not affect the focusing in any way.
     
     Regards,
     David

Dear Fellow LUGnuts,
     
Al this traffic about Leica quality and now this.  
     
I just mounted my new 35mm Summilux Aspheric lens on my new M6 and realized 
that the rangefinder on the M6 doesn't quite line up right.  The doubled 
image line up horizontally but are off a bit vertically.  When you try to 
focus on a sign with letters, the letters are out of registration 
vertically.  What a bummer.  I didn't notice this at first until I compared 
the rangefinder images with my earlier M6 body that lined up the two images 
vertically and horizontally.  
     
Has anyone else had this experience?  
     
I guess it's off to Leica in New Jersey for an adjustment.  It still has 2 
years and 11 months left on the Passport warranty.  I wonder if Leica can 
adjust it before the Summer is over.  I heard they are backed up for 4-6 
weeks for repair work.  I guess you can't have everything.
     
Sincerely,
     
Richard
