Cited below is Leica's response to my request for information about the
correct tool to use to adjust the rangefinder on a later M4-2. I thought a
small offset slotted screwdriver would do the trick.
If anyone has performed this operation on an M4-2 with a tool that
doesn't cost as much as the Taj Mahal, I'd very much appreciate learning
what tool he/she used.
By the way, I've had excellent response to my call for teenage photos
from several high schools nationwide, but I'm still on the lookout for a few
more.
Thanks to all,
Hank

Mr. KellnerThe tip of the screw driver that adjusts the height of the focus
"patch" is approx 2mm. This is the one that you go through the hole in the
top cover. Later M4-2 s switched to a special tool which is $286.00 The
technical drawings or measurements are not available for the "outside"
Germany does not want that information given out.
