We all should know how to do this and have a little screwdriver in our camera bag on anything resembling a trip or extended shoot. I saw a repair person do it with a screwdriver with an angled off edge of the tip but I am going to try bending it as you say. I have been using a non modified screwdriver and the slot on the screw looks a little worn. This person had asked "why does this happen" and I can't think of a philosophical answer to that. Would it be that the Leica Rangefinder is a remarkable piece of machinery but not perfect? Perhaps a machine can require some easy adjustment and still be perfect? Mark Rabiner
