Problem with locking toggle, Leica MP.

[durdeni]

Hello,

First of all I'd like to say "Hello", I've been lurking on this forum for some time but this is my first post here. Thank you guys, I bought rangefinder camera and really enjoy it, you can't even imagine how much!

Unfortunatly, I have small problem with my Leica. When I hold my camera horizontally the locking toggle (nr 28 in the manual) doesn't stay tightly folded in the bottom cover - it fall.

Did you have similar problem?
Is it possible to fix it without sending my camera to the service?

kind regards,

Durdeni

The lock is held by a simple pin. There are numerous ways to fix it, to increase the friction between the pin and hole. One harmless method is even to use a high viscosity grease between the pin and hole.

You do need to disassemble the lever from the baseplate, but doesn't take special tools.
