Dear Sir:

Please explain this latest post since it must have slipped past the censors:


"I bought a new M6 body from Don Chatterton a few weeks ago. As I was about
to go on a trip to London I just left it alone until I got back. I did not
want to use a new camera on my vacation and my existing M6 was a proven
entity. Once back I opened this new M6 and went to attach a lens, it would
not go on, tried 5 lenses and none would lock on. Called Don and he was
gracious enough to exchange it. It still cost 65.00 to ship it back to him
(Mail Boxes Etc.). This is rather a glaring defect not something buried deep
within the camera. Stuff happens and all that but for an 1800.00 camera body
to be unusable right out of the box is very disappointing Maybe that guy
that screwed up the pressure plates got promoted to final inspection."

Sure some great quality control, huh?

How many shims do you have in your M-6's?
