Re: [OM] M8

[Andrew Fildes]

I had one that had rangefinder mis-adjustment out of the box. 
Took me a while to realise, and some testing with a 90mm Summicron.
It had to go back to Solms for readjustment. From Australia, that takes a very 
long time (several months). 
There was no apology or explanation offered. 
The assumption that only so guy in Solms can do a rangefinder adjustment is a 
bit - theocentric.
