My $AUD 300 brand new Oakley sunglasses got extra scratched when I introduced them to the metal eyepiece of my M3. There are plenty of low cost solutions to prevent these kinds of scratches. My favourite is painting the eyepiece ring with Liquid Electrical Tape (a black rubber compound). <http://nemeng.com/leica/004ea.shtml> FWIW, see also the M3 topic in the Leica FAQ, and scroll down to the "Metal eyepiece ring scratches your glasses?" heading: <http://nemeng.com/leica/002be.shtml> Regards, Andrew Nemeth <http://leica.nemeng.com> [ Leica FAQ ]
