Quite why is hard to guess as there's never been any option to replace it with anything else. It might have a service function for when alignment is checked? Like many others, we await future developments that may take advantage of this intriguing cul-de-sac in the M-Leica.

Hi all Thank you first for all the kind answer I had about my story on the digest and private. As I inspected my new M6 TTL 0.72 under all angles possible, I noted that the movable rear back of the camera had the same little screw device as the one you can see in the axis of the back of the R, meaning this moveable up back can be removed. I didn't try to remove this for I'm very careful with this new marvel, and also I noted that behind the axis of the back, a piece of tissue underlined, surely for the opacity of the device, but I'm not sure this piece is solidaire with the back, and would'nt dirupt it. What all is this for, only replace the back when it's broken or what, or maybe we could find one of these days an LCD back, in place of the current one, kind of digitizing the M?! Or is there a databack in its way at Solms for the M?? Maybe also this has nothing mysterious, and I'm just a little bit too young in the M world? Don't flame me if my observation is a triviality Thank you, Gregoire Vandenschrick
