[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Although most sources list the RF baselength of the M4-P/M6/and M6J as being identical to the other M's, this does not appear to be true on closer inspection. The following is the correction note posted at my site, http://cameraquest.com/leica.htm M4-P/M6/M6J RF Note: Most sources list the M4-P/M6 RF baselength as being identical to the previous M's (68.5). Noted Leica Repair Technician Sherry Krauter pointed out in her Leica Viewfinder article of the 2nd Quarter of 1995, that their baselength is actually 69.25, and that of the M6J is 68.85. I was able to confirm the 69.25 figure in Gunter Osterloh's excellent and recommended (by me) Leica M: The advanced school of photography. I have been able to confirm the M6J figures in the M6J brochure. Marc Small pointed out Sherry's article to me. Marc and I often joust with opposing opinions, but I knew that sooner or later he had to be right on something. Keep up the good work Marc, Stephen
