soundsgoodsg Posted February 29, 2016 Share #1 Â Posted February 29, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have no idea what the technical name for it would be, but the tiny plastic nub that serves to click lock the visoflex at 0 degrees has broken: perhaps it's an inherent flaw of design (a magnet wasn't an option?) that it would eventually snap off, as I like to swap from 0 degrees to 90 degrees a lot... just wondering who else has this happened to? Not complaining, just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted February 29, 2016 Share #2 Â Posted February 29, 2016 Not to me so far. I change the angle on mine very rarely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted February 29, 2016 Share #3  Posted February 29, 2016 Had similar happen on the EVF on my M.  Tempted to tape it down.  Just noticed the T EVF made in Indonesia, and the EVF2 made in China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share #4  Posted February 29, 2016 Mine didn't break, but it was never very good at keeping the Visoflex in the 0 degrees position, which meant that it would flip to 90 degrees while carrying the camera against the body or when pulling it out of a case. Since I never use the Visoflex at 90 degrees, I elected to replace the weak latch a bit of glue and have had no problems since then (though I understand this is very much not the solution you are looking for given your shooting style). So, yes, I too had a Visoflex with a rather weak latch mechanism.

TheHobbit Posted March 1, 2016 Share #5  Posted March 1, 2016 I don't use it much but I do put a bit of blutack to help lock it in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2016 Share #6 Â Posted March 2, 2016 Does the "Leica passport" make the EVF replaceable for whatever reason for 3 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeralCoton Posted March 18, 2016 Share #7 Â Posted March 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine spontaneously broke off. Leica actually responded to a forum post and replaced it at no charge. It is an odd design, but they took care of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
