Hello George, As I have reported to the LUG, my M6HMTTL had rangefinder alignment problems too. I had it in twice at the local Leica repair facility and the third time they sent it to Solms and replaced the rangefinder under warranty. I suggest you send it back to Leica and keep sending it back until it is right. There is no reason for a US$1800 camera not to have a correctly adjusted rangefinder. Mine has not come out of alignment since the rangefinder was replaced. Howard. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
