Leica M6 Rangefinder Patch Corner Missing?


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I've just noticed the top right hand corner of my rangefinder patch has disappeared. There is a tiny almost insignificant amount of patch left in the very top of the corner, but the rest of the corner is jagged and completely see through.

 

What could be causing the patch to be disappear?

 

Is the mirror losing its metallic part?

Hi

 

Mine had a similar problem, what it turned out to be was a hair in the rangefinder system! After a while it moved, which was how I diagnosed the problem. I don't imagine it will be affecting the focus etc though so don't worry too much - although I know we like our Leicas to be perfect!

 

Hope that helps!
