Off To Mr Yau - hopefully....

I'd like to have that info too. I just purchased a nice M6 classic, my first rangefinder, and, obviously, it is out of alignment. It is more severe vertically , and I find it very hard to focus on the blurry patch

The information on the tool is located on the Leica FAQ:
http://nemeng.com/leica/034b.shtml

They provide the model or sku # for the tool but they say it must be ordered from Leica.

I quote from the above linked page:

However, if you have a late-run M4-P or any M6 model, then you will need to use a special RF adjustment tool and in the case of the M6, now remove the Leica red dot logo above the lens mount to uncover the recessed adjustment "screw".

Yes this is a nuisance and was deliberately introduced by Leica to stop weekend warriors from doing their own adjustments. You cannot use any old screw driver or torx tool to do the adjustment either, only the special tool Leica make and supply - "Adj. RF M4P, M6" #1500-0000-1279 - for approx $US 250 (ouch).

My cost was $45 CDN - far cheaper than $250 USD 😀

Cheers
Dave
