Point taken ... that's what hurts. 30 years without service, then I let 
Leica service it, and its days of use are over. Leica used to make good 
stuff, but with this modern rangefinder variant ... I have my doubts. 
They've got a good reputation and can live a while on it, but I'd go for one 
of the older M's instead of the newer ones.

I've always had rangefinder glitches. I didn't count that as "no problems" 
under the thirty years. Adjusting it was usually such a small task that it 
didn't bother me. Most repairmen can give it same day service. I've heard 
you can do it yourself, but I've never bothered.
