Nod,

Try taking a piece of masking tape and putting it over the center window =
on the front of the M6.  This helps somewhat.  A fellow LUG member told =
me about this about 18 months ago and it helps.  I have not tried the =
masking tape as he suggested since I was on the road at the time.  I did =
have a piece of diffusion gel and some 2 sided tape which I put on the =
camera.  I have not taken it off since. =20

I really should change to the masking tape since Robert said it made the =
finder look like his M3.

HTH

Subject:	[Leica] holding M6 Vertically against the light ?

I have an M6, I cannot for the life of me decide which way is best to
hold it when trying to take upright shots, I often find myself in
situations where, bright lights shine directly towards me, (amateur
dramatics group) and when held vertically the central rangefinder window
looses contrast or whites out completely.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be minimized, as
when held horizontally it does not seem to be such a great problem.

thank you

nod.
