Apparently Leica felt they could set this once at the factory, put a spot of shellac on the threads, and it would be maintenance free. Wrong. The old, more adjustable mechanism was much better and more easily set than the new one. >> In response to which, DonjRXXX eloquently posed, <<Why can't Solms go back to the better mechanism?>> Look, Junior, if this is an urgent matter to you, why don't you contact someone in Solms and find out? Really, if you detect such serious problems with Leica equipment, why don't you go out and document the problems rather than just trolling the LUG for messages you can twist to suit your prejudices. - ------ =_NextPart_001_01BEDF3B.4EA4F1B0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.0.1460.9"> <TITLE>RE: [Leica] A most daring proposition.</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>In a message dated 8/4/99 12:42:54 AM Central = Daylight Time, </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>LEICAMAN56@aol.com writes:</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2><< </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2> The vertical adjustment of the rangefinder = patch, on the other hand, does go </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2> out of adjustment rather easily, and before = the M6, was easily adjusted in </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=3D2> 1-2 minutes.
