The LEICA M-P screw - what's behind it...

This hole is for adjusting the vertical alignment of the viewfinder. I already had to make such an adjustment on an M 240. I doubt that the size has anything to do with the adjustment tolerances.

 

Attached pict shows the hex screw that is behind this hole.

Thanks Andreas. Personally I found it very odd that there was so much emphasis on such a minor cosmetic aspect in the thread on the new camera.

However the quote from the the product manager does officially confirm the improvements to the focus mechanism, which have been the topic of other discussions/speculation.

Thus the large screw was deliberately accepted to achieve better results in the field.

 

In the field? Living in a country with a billion acres of wilderness I wonder what that means. Does the camera include the special hex wrench and instructions? Or does "in the field" mean a casual adjustment while enjoying an espresso at a European cafe.
