My M6 has NOT even needed rangefinder adjustment after any of those disasters. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Dan Cardish Sent: Friday, March 03, 2000 1:56 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica Horror Stories I dropped my older M6 with 50 Summilux mounted on it from sofa (chesterfield) onto carpeted floor, a distance of perhaps 2 feet. Required new lens mount on camera (repaired by R. Mueler in Toronto), and one of the mounting prongs in mount on lens was twisted, and required 'subtle' bending back into position with hammer (local repair guy asked me to turn my back so as not to see what he was about to do to my lens!). On the other hand I dropped my Hasselblad PME3 prism finder from a height of about 6 feet onto a hard wood floor. No mark or damage to prism whatsoever, but there was a dent in floor! Dan C.
