I had read with the MR meters there's some kind of adjustment you can make to the screws holding the flash shoe that can stop the scratching, but perhaps it isn't or wasn't commonly done.

I ended up picking up a voigtlander vc ii meter for a decent price, its tiny and doesn't add much bulk to the camera. Seems bang on compared to my other meters. I was swayed slightly in this direction as I can then use it on any other nonmetered cameras. So I've actually saved money, right?

Whichever Leica you get, (or any other brand), make sure it has a recent CLA, preferably by a reputed mechanic. 12 months warranty doesn't necessarily mean it's been CLA'd.

As for discouraging, it is just a box.

Bests,

Default loving Leica

Hope you're still enjoying the Leica. I have an M4 with 25mm, 35mm and 50mm lenses; exposures handled with a Gossen Digisix. This is the last and probably the final Leica outfit of several over the years! There is no finer camera and I have had (and still have) many! In use no other is as elegant and intuitive. Do you still print in the darkroom or digitise your negatives?
Happy snapping.
