Subject: [Leica] Leica M6 TTL + Tri-Elmar & 90 Elmarit - First Impressions.

Dear All,

In the last week I bought a black M6 TTL, 28-35-50mm f/4 Tri-Elmar lens
and 90mm f/2.8 Elamrit-M lens, all new. Everything seems to work very
well and I'm pleased with the results from my first film. Even film
loading seems easy enough, if I follow the advice of not attempting to
advance the film before I close the back and base-plate. 

The only odd thing I noticed is that the 90mm frameline is rather dim
on the right-hand side. All other frame lines appear evenly lit. I
tried moving to different positions but it made no difference. Is this
normal? 

I also noticed that if I engage the 28mm focal length on the Tri-Elmar
too gently, it doesn't select the 28mm frameline as it should - I have
to use a bit more force (but not a lot) to make the correct frameline
pop into place. 

Regards,

=====
Ray
