[Leica] Flare Fix

[brad at bradbrad.com (brad daly)]

i noticed the flare problem really badly yesterday when i was shooting 
*vertically* with the afternoon sun at about a 45-degree angle to the 
lens (horizontally, probably lower vertically).  i turn the camera 
clockwise when i shoot verticals--so the shutter button is on the 
bottom and the rewind knob on the top.  is that how everyone turns the 
M for verticals?  going the other way my left hand gets in front of the 
center RF window.

i guess i'll have to get the flare fix at some point.  the M6 being the 
only leica i've ever owned, i'm probably not aware how bad it can be 
and how much better a "traditional" M finder performs.
