(Sherry etc. please post it this is the case!!!) 2) the repairman was trying to "force" the adjustment against the glue, without removing the top. If he could "fudge" it, it might "give" enough to make a SLIGHT difference. Again, I quit the full time repair shop in l982....have worked on one or two post-84 bodies, but can't speak for the last ten years or so.....I'd be THRILLED to find out that Solms had re-instated the M3-2-4-5 style adjustment, but I doubt it. BTW, for you newer-leica-company-apologist types, I have a beautiful EXC+ M4-P I'll trade for an equal condition M4-- strap marks OK... Betcha I get a lot of takers :) :) :) Again, PLEASE correct me if ANY of you has an M4-P or M6 with traditional (pre-M4-2) RFDR vertical adjustment....I'll eat my words/ crow -- but they still cranked out 100,000 cameras without it, and half of them are at least "slightly" out....usable, yes, as mine was, but still annoying to those of us with "real" ones!! (that oughtta stir it up......)
