Camera has been well used but apparently not abused. Winding on and shutter release smooth as silk. Two negatives: vertical RF alignment off a bit but distance seems ok as per results of roll of film I shot. The second is the frame counter goes to #15 and no further although it moves a bit when you advance film. Also does not reset when film is rewound and removed. My question: of course I can return to dealer and get a different body (might have to spend more) or I can keep this one and send for repairs. Problem is I'm leaving on an extended trip in ten days and I want to have a second M body for black&white. Since everything else seems to work OK, does anybody know any quick & dirty cure that will get frame counter working or is this a serious repair? Mike Gardner
