The vertical adjustment is also fairly easy to do. On an M6 body, remove
the red Leica dot (it=B4s glued onto the top cover and comes off when you=

twist it). Behind you=B4ll find a screw which unfortunately is almost
parallel to the camera=B4s front. CAREFULLY turning this screw changes th=
e
vertical RF adjustment. Be sure to move it only a fraction of a millimete=
r.
Reattach a lens and see if it=B4s OK; you=B4ll probably have to iterate t=
hrough
the procedure sveral times.

On earlier M bodies (3,2,4,-2,-P,5) it=B4s a little easier. There is a sc=
rew
above the lens mount, right where the Leica dot is on the M6. This screw
covers another screw (this time perpendicular to the camera front and thu=
s
easy to turn) which changes the vertical adjustment.

Hope this helps
