Hi Paddy - if it still feels silky then you're probably fine!
My M2 was brassed internally from a lot of film use - still feels silky .
You should give that article a look over though - applies to all cameras and the olfactory test absolutely works.
Hope you enjoy using it!

My M3 will be back tommorrow , looking forward to putting some film in it
Might try some B+W slides and send them to klaus wehner in Germany, rate some Adox silvermax at 200ASA, will have to mount the film myself though

The m3 came back last week and feels like new
Peter at CRR Luton has done a sterling job and i would recommend him to anyone who needs a service for their Leica

Good stuff, Paddy. Can I ask how much the service cost? I've got an M2 needing some TLC.
