According to Erwin Puts the problem has something to do with the fact that Leica removed a particular condenser lens from the rangefinder assembly. Some would suggest it was done to reduce costs, but I would never be so cynical as to suggest that. ;-) B.

Had I known then, what I know now, I would have never permitted it. I bought my Leicas 30 years ago and wasn't aware of problems that cropped up when they had to redesign the rangefinder to fit in some of the metering stuff for the M6. I'm not expert, I might be wrong on that. Yes, otherwise it would be absurd. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
