That would cost around $1200 plus. It is the viewfinder itself that is removed and replaced with the MP-style finder. Well worth the money, I'd say, if you are bound and determined to have that viewfinder in your camera. If you find that flare isn't a problem for you, then I'd say fuggeddaboudit. That is, some are really hankering for that finder and won't buy a new camera without it, others can't see what all the fuss is about. I think it's probably a bit like the Noctilux issue ... either you gotta have it, or you don't gotta have it. Let me know if you have any more questions, and I can ask more technical questions of our parts/repair folks and clarify.

Can you tell us a little more about the upgrade? Does Leica swap the entire RF or is it an upgrade to the existing finder? Thanks, feli - ------------------------------------------------------------- - --Leica USA Ready to Retrofit Your M with the MP Viewfinder For all of you who have heard the rumors, the truth is out! Leica is prepared to retrofit your M camera (M6, M7) with the new viewfinder now available in the MP and recent versions of the M7. The viewfinder is an improvement over previous versions, with less flare and enhanced contrast in the viewfinder. Leica will perform the replacement for $275.00, including shipping and handling, and will take approximately 3 weeks to complete. If you are interested, please contact us and we will make arrangements to send your camera to Leica for you.
