It seemed a little finicky so I sent it over to one of the illustrious Leica repair people oft-mentioned here. It came back, after some work, with the message that the best that could be done had been done. The camera, I was told, was a good example of the sub-standard fit and finishing which characterized many M4-2 bodies. Without many parts being changed, it could not be adjusted up to the standards of the earlier M cameras." I took my M4-2 to Solms, and they virtually rebuilt it - with *many* new parts - for under UKP200. You took yours somewhere else and they shrugged and did the best they could. Your experience would seem to say more about the non-Leica service you chose to use, than anything else. - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk "There are only two services that images can offer the afflicted. One is to find the story that expresses the truth of their affliction. The second is to find the words that can give resonance, through the crust of external circumstances, to the cry that is always inaudible: "Why am I being hurt?" - -- Simone Weil - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
