All of a sudden the moving rangefinder patch on my M3 stopped returning to a
position closer than the six foot focus point. The moving image is very slow
and I wonder if there might be a return spring in the mechanism that has
gone bad? This happened without any prior symptoms. Can anyone suggest a
probable cause? Is there a reputable repair person in Northern CA?

Thanks, Bill Lawlor
