andybarton Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted July 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) My first move would be to ring up the fellows who sorted it last year and politely demand they redouble their efforts. There's no reason the shutter should be sticking such a short while after a proper service, nor is there much short of a fire or a bath in seawater that would relegate an M2 to the camera graveyard. Unless of course the owner simply wants an excuse to buy another camera It'll be on it's way back on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafael_macia Posted July 18, 2007 Share #22 Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks for the advice chaps. Putting my glasses on my head isn't an option and I am not prepared to wander about with them on a chain, so it has to be a solution that will accommodate me continuing to wear them. My contact lenses days are long gone. Since I would never use an M for anything longer than a 50, I think that something with a 0.58 might have to be the answer. Let's see what we can find! Andy As a long time Leica shooter, and eyeglass wearer, my problem has been exactly the same as yours .... but for me I have found a solution. The eyeglass chain thing I did off and on, but never liked it. I have always used diopters (-4), so I have to remove my eyeglasses to see the viewfinder fully ...... Tag Heuer the watch makers, also put out eyeglass frames The sides are rubber so putting them up on your head is easy, and quick. They don't fall off either. Made of titanium they are very light I include a link you can see them, (I have 2 pair of the 3901 (frames about $300-350 http://www.tagheuer.com/eyewear/index.lbl?lang=en good luck Rafael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
