[Leica] S2 test

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

One what? An E series? An SL?
An SL yes; by Harry...
There was a titch in the tilt (that's technical jingo...). wouldn't come 
back to neutral if it went all the way down. Harry fixed it in 2 weeks 
(special request; he works part time and it usually takes a bit more time).
Camera West, who I bought a second body from, sent it to CO for CLA and 
smoothing out the focus rack. It'll be back next week after being sent today.

Or did I misunderstand your question?
