flowerbomber Posted January 16 Share #1 Posted January 16 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey there, I have this scratch/line on my 75mm frameline on my 1 month old camera and was wondering if I should bring this up to my local Leica dealer as it is still under warranty (dropping it off to Wetzlar is also an option for me) or am I just scrutinising it too much. In addition to that, What is this piece of glass and is it normal for it to not be straight? Thanks all! Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted January 16 Share #2 Posted January 16 I would say follow your own advice and pop into Leica. They can give you more authoritative answers than we can. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had my M3 for years now and the framelines are still perfect so was a bit surprised to see it on a new camera hahah. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted January 16 Share #5 Posted January 16 vor 5 Minuten schrieb flowerbomber: hahah. It's good that you can laugh about that. I am not quite sure but it could increase the value of your M11 . . . 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhrads Posted January 16 Share #6 Posted January 16 WETZLAR! If that's an easy option, it's the best option. I had an issue with my 50/1.2 and they fixed it right up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgeenen Posted January 16 Share #7 Posted January 16 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does my M11 show this gap in the framelines as in picture 1? No. Does my M11 show this edgy line as in picture 2? Yes, exactly the same shape and orientation. But I needed a strong torch to make it visible. so, I assume the frame line gap is independent from the second observation. Which makes dirt a likely root cause for the gap and the line in the finder a kind of clamp centering an optical element in the finder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to bring it to a Leica dealer first as I am not in Germany atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
