I would also like to raise my hand for Peter's excellent work.  I have just
received my M2 from him.  Its rangefinder image was almost invisible due to
a badly deteriorated prism.  Peter has re-silvered the RF prism and the RF
image is now as bright and clear as a new M6's.  This is something regarded
as 'impossible' by a number Leica service agents and the only alternative
offered was a new M6 rangefinder at great costs.

Cheers,
Joseph
