Walt can do it however he wants. But Solms makes the tool and does it as I
outlined. Through the hole under the red dot. That's the ONLY reason there
is a hole there.

The reason someone would go to the trouble to take a camera apart
unnecessarily is because they simply are not informed. I suspect Walt is
the only person in existence that would take an M camera apart to adjust
the RF when the tool and means were developed expressly for that purpose,
by Solms, with the M4P and M6.

Sort of like taking the engine apart when all you want to do is adjust the
carburetor.

My gawd... why is this simple fact so difficult for anybody to see.

Hello!!!
