Still and again. I was taught by Leica (Ernst Hartmann) how to do it and I have the special LEICA MADE tool, which is a very tiny eccentric on the end of a shaft, which fits into a slot. This is under the red dot. A little fiddly and delicate, but simple. Following is part of the invoice for the tool, scanned and OCR'ed so I could include it here, purchased from Leica NJ and delivered from Solms: LEICA USA 156 LUDLOW AVE. NORTHVALE, NJ BRICK 6/11/99 ASAP PREPAID ITEM DESCRIPTION 150000001279 ADJ. RF M4P,M6 As you can see, it is the same tool they used on the M4P BEFORE the M6 was invented. So, let's hear it again... you have to do what to adjust the M4P & M6 RF? This is what I was talking about. Bogus information being disseminated on the LUG. Jim
