Ted,

Having bought two new M6TTLs (.72/.85) three weeks ago I have been
interested in this flare thread. Yesterday I spent some time trying under
every lighting circumstance trying to get these cameras to flare. I could
not induce any flare at all so is it possible that Leica has made some small
adjustment within the rangefinder?
