====================================================
 There are 4 screws to adjust the LTM  RFs: left, right, up & down -
  An easy job for the experienced tech, once the cover & knobs are 
  removed and if the proper instruments are available, BUT it can be
  very time consuming to do by the average "do it yourselfer".

 Unlike the LTM, the "M" RF moves diagonally - so that any vertical
 adjustment must be compensated for by a horizontal readjustment.

 This is an easy job, & usually done free at the official Leica Service
 Stations that are equiped to do it.
