Subject: [Leica] Zeiss finder Saga, The Smoking Gun...

The Smoking Gun, see the photo of the framelines in the viewfinder. We
leveled everything as best we can using bubble levels. The internal M9
framelines are ?dead-on,? definitely good enough for framing purpose. As
you can see, the framelines inside the Zeiss finder, as marked by the red
lines, are tilted. Notice that the finder is just sitting on top of the
camera, not in the hotshoe, so it has nothing to do with ?rotational? axis
with respect to the center of the lens etc.

Again, my beef is not so much that the framelines are tilted ? I bought the
finder used and if it could have been dropped or whatever. My issue is the
arrogance from the customer support that this cannot be a problem.
