But as you note, the lens still brings up the 50mm framelines and will not focus properly without the eyes. It should be possible for a repair person to modify it to bring up the 35mm frameline instead of the 50, but the focus would still be off. I've been told that its difficult (or impossible) to modify the focussing cam to work without the eyes. Has anyone ever heard of that being done? Sounds like a job for Ken Ruth...

Will the framelines on an M2 or M6 adjust properly? - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
