This is normal wear for a heavily used M camera -The reason being that many people carry it on their chest, where shirt buttons rub the back door." This may occur, but a much more usual source of paint wear on the Ms 2, 3 and 4 in my experience was the former brown leather erc, which had two press studs in the rear which gradually wore through the lining until they rubbed against the back door of the camera. Despite this, which could be guarded against if you knew about it, the original cases were preferable in my view because they were smaller and did not make a rangefinder look like an SLR. Regards. JH PS Can anyone tell me the secret of copying from someone's e-mail with all the <<< signs without typing it all out manually as I have done in the above example?
