First, many thanks to Eric, Ted, and others who have offered film loading technique advice. I promise that I shall continue to practice until this process becomes second nature. Also, thank you to everyone who offered advice regarding a second M6 body; I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival! While focusing my M6, I noticed that the vertical alignment is very *slightly* out of sync. The horizontal alignment is perfect, and, from searching the archives, it seems as if most agree that a slight vertical misalignment is somewhat common and does not affect focus. Since I'm getting a second M6, should I send my M6 in for adjustment, or is it ok to simply wait until the vertical misalignment becomes so pronounced as to become distracting? I read a few posts in the archive about removing the red dot and doing the adjustment with a jeweler's screwdriver; has anyone tried this? (I tend to be somewhat mechanically inclined...) I try to not obsess about gear, and the misalignment is not particularly bothersome at this point; however, I don't want to procrastinate about having the M6 adjusted if this will cause problems in the future. Thanks for your patience with my Leica-neophyte questions! Sandy
