Fixed my Leica M6

My Leica M6 had some issues: rangefinder was not precise, lightmeter was a bit off and it had a serious glare problem (a known M6 problem) which made it unusable in strong light. I found a nice man in Soest, recommended to me by Jay who adjusted my rangefinder and lightmeter and cleaned and lubricated my camera and now it works perfectly. I also bought a shade from leicagoodies which solves my glare problem (for $ 10...). As you can see in the picture, it is a sort of pola filter for the RF lightwindow. Framelines are lsightly less clear, but that is ok with me. Now it works perfectly again and I am very happy. The repairman (email me for his number, he is an amazing and capable man and I had a very enjoyable evening talking to him about many things) also checked my Hasselblad. Turned out my Hasseblad is fine, I just loaded the film wrongly... more on the Hasselblad later..
