My M6 Titanium was not focusing at infinity according to the rangefinder, although the lens was going all the way to the infinity mark. So I took it in at 9:30am and a nice fellow asked me a few careful questions like: "Is the lens firmly mounted?" "Does the lens go to infinity?". After I explained the issue, he took the camera with its 35/2 in the back and returned about 5 minutes later. "Is it fixed?" I asked. "Yes, the rangefinder just needed a little adjustment." he replied. All in all, a very pleasant experience. I also enjoyed looking at all the historical cameras in the glass case, like the M1 with the Leicavit MP and the Uhr-Leica reproduction. The nagging question is: How easy do M6 rangefinders get out of adjustment? I know the tech turned one or two of those little screws inside the lens mount on the rangefinder mechanism, but I don't know which one(s). Any clues as to DIY adjustments? (Although with Leica USA just 45min from my house, it isn't a big deal.)
