This is a no brainer repair. Using an F2 lens at, at what combo of shutter speed and ASA and f-stop does the lolipop coincide with the uppeer dot? How about the lower one? I don't remember the correct settings but surely someone on the list can check out his SL and tell you. To check for mechanical linearity cycle speed-Fstop Fstop-asa and Speed-ASA and see if it stays on each of the dots. If the offset varies throughout the range it could just be a matter of playing with the pots in the front. peel off the leather on the SL nameplate and fiddle with the correct one! These the segmented adjustments not only allow for finer calibration but do allow compensation for moderate CDS degradation If the CDS is bad they are still available new from Leitz and can be pulled off lots of old parts cameras cheap. Worst case scenario ship it to Leitz in Jersey It shouldn't be too expensive. See Ya Javier __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
