Regarding the lack of infrared assist light: I plan on getting the ST-

E2 and just leaving it atop the Elan 7e (and using the 420EX in slave

mode).

<p>

Wouldn't this combination (7 + ST-E2) provide the same infrared

assist benefits at the Elan II? Granted, it's a shame to have to

suffer the extra weight and bulk of the ST-E2, but it's a lot less

bulky than a flash--and I mostly do available light shooting under

low light conditions, so would welcome the much less intrusive

infrared assist for focusing.

I agree with Mani: be sure to experiment with where your eye rests on

the viewfinder before sending your M6 off for repair. I've found

that my new M6 (.72 TTL) appears to be ever so slightly misaligned on

the vertical plane, but that the misalignment disappears as I adjust

the position of my eye in the finder.
