Many people apparantly see any listing of problems reported as a charged and negative thing. Curiously, they use references to science and statistics in their arguments that there is 'no problem'. If anyone has had a problem and doesn't feel comfortable reporting it under this denial based discomfort, please send it on to me via email and I'll add it on to the next post. Obviously there is no harm in keeping a list and, should anyone want to make it, I think a list of new cameras bought without incident would also be of interest. To that list, add my late '97 M6.
