I am not kind to my cameras and have had no issues with rangefinder alignment since 1971. Admittedly, I have a mid production M3 and an early M6 currently so I can not talk about the new production.

I am less confident of the D70. But I have not held one so I will have to try it out(Not dropping one thought). I am sorry to hear that the M7 is not as robust. I thought that the Leica range finders where a very hardy breed. How then is their weather seals?
