The opposite of what we hope and think of in Leica. In my frame of reference a crummy pressure plate equals a crummy camera, they are synomomous. What do I know? If its smooth I consider it. Not, then it's junk. I can't picture Leica coming out with cameras with unfinished pressure plates. That would be like telling me middle grey is not middle grey. Say it aint true! Could someone write in with a story of a new Leica pressure plate that needed finishing before it would stop scratching film and then when it was finished by whatever method stopped scratching film. I just want to read about it first hand so I can give up quilting for good. Mark Rabiner There is no Dog.
