Would you not complain to Canon or Nikon if you did ?? Leica owners almost always make a big deal of Leica being the "best," yet when Leica does not deliver the goods, instead of complaining LOUDLY to Leica about it to improve their very highly priced product, most owners simply accept Leica's mis-step and find a way to work around it. I believe Leica will continue to deliver flare prone M6 finders until they are so overwhelmed with complaints they finally realize they have to do something about it. "Making do" will only perpetuate the problem, not improve the M6. Stephen Gandy Bill Larsen wrote: > I think the thread is going in a very constructive manner.
