[Leica] Two Questions...

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

1.  the dent is only cosmetic.  It can be bumped out, when you get the 
camera serviced, for example, for the rangefinder alignment.  
Replacement is not easy or cheap; you have to find another top.  I've 
seen them sell for over $200.

2.  the rangefinder image alignment is supposed to be perfect.  This can 
be an easy adjustment.
