The split image was out by a whisker but enough to cause a niggle every time i wanted to focus at infinity. It can happen when a body gets a good jolt or knock. It can be corrected by adjusting the screw on the swing arm inside the lens mount. There are some useful pages in the lug archives that can help you with this. Some people perhaps not suprisingly would prefer to leave it to a professional as it may also need calibrating at medium and close focusing distances. I did have a go myself and managed to get the split images to meet at infinity, although it still didnt seem to be too accurate at closer distances. That M6 has been replaced now, and the new one I have has had no such problems, thankfully. Good luck with it..
