They had me send it in to DAG for repair and he turned it around in about a week. I talked with him on the phone after the repair and he said this is a fairly common problem with the R6. The stop down lever breaks and must be replaced. I shot about 3 or 4 rolls of film after it broke, and lucky for me the piece of metal did not get into the shutter or any other fragile mechanics in the camera. I do not know what the repair cost as Camera One picked up the tab since I had only had the camera for a week. BTW Camera One in Sarasota is a good reliable dealer and I highly recommend them to anyone. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
