[Leica] Summicron DR Eyes Adjustment & Tonsilectomy

[Leikon35@aol.com]

  The "eyes" for the 50/2 DR can easily get out of whack and can quickly be
  be put back in alignment by loosening the right hand slotted ring & turning
  the lens tube.  Again, this is an easy adjustment if you have done it a few
  times before-hand or want to bother with an exact measurment & have the 
  proper tool for the slotted ring & a little strap wrench -- but since the
image
  will move diagonally as the lens is actually a wedge -----  I again can't
place
  enough emphasis on the importance of leaving this for the trained
technician,
  after all, removing a kids tonsils is an easy job also; would you want to do
it?
