Hi,
If the viewfinder starts to seperate & you cant see the double image then
thats about the most expensive repair in an Mbody.

You cant always get the old M3 viewfinder as a replacement part.

I think its liek a $400-600  repair.

Dealers have told me that they'll pay no more than $200 for a leica body w/
such condition.

And yes, I take pix all the time. I'll send you a Jpeg if you like.
