    <p>Sounds like it needs to go in for repair.</p>

    <p>It is true that the 50mm frameline in Leicas from the M6 on are too small. But the ones in older leicas, the M2, M3, M4, and M5 are a much better match for the area covered in the negative. This is also true of the early M4-P, before they started using the downsized frameline masks of the then-new M6.</p>
  18. Rob F.
    <p>Maybe Russia won a contract to make Leica batteries. Or else they bought a quantity of them. I see nothing wrong, either way.</p>
  19. Rob F.
    <p>I'm a wide-angle guy, and have the hassie wide-angle focal lengths 40mm, 50mm and 60mm. If I had to use just one, I'm pretty sure it would be the 50mm FLE for its versatility. </p>
  20. Rob F.
    <p>There is a gear in the film back that is advanced by a corresponding device in the camera body. When the gear in the back gets out of alignment, it will cause the back to be kicked away from the body by a small distance--just enough to produce a light leak. This means it is time to get a CLA done on the back. If any light seals need replacement, that can be done at the same time.</p>
  21. Rob F.
    <p>Well, not exactly a half frame camera. The M8.2 captures 75% of the width and height, or if you want to compare on the basis of area, then it's a 57% frame camera. That's .75 times .75. A little better than half frame; OK, not that much better, now that I did the numbers. I never thought about it in area terms before. But I wouldn't kick an M8.2 to the curb just for that, nor just because we can't crop in-camera!</p>
  22. Rob F.
    <p>Agreed, it's a factory conversion to IIIf. Just as a fun fact, there was a model IIId, which is a IIIc with self-timer.</p>
  23. Rob F.
    <p>Yes he is a repair person and he has CLA'd all three of my IIIcs. I can recommend him. Good news that he's back!</p>
  24. Rob F.
    <p>An M6 with the battery out is still no M2, because some of the M6 framelines are very undersized--notably the 50mm, and the 35mm is a little too small. OTOH, the M6 28mm frameline is good, and the the M2 has not even got a 28mm.<br> An early M4-P has the right size framelines, and does have a 28mm frameline. So an M4-P is worth considering.</p>
