Re: [Leica] M6 Self-timer

Hi James,

Thanks for the info! You are not joking, are you??
What is this Leica Handbook??
Is it the thin brochure that accompanies the M6 body box? 

If not, please elaborate for all of us who are not aware of this
built-in timer!! And is this for the classic 0.72 M6? 

How does one move it and use it (once a month)???

Thanks in advance!
Bee

Bee Miller wrote an interesting and amusing report (1/1/99) on using a
separate self-timer with the M6.

Actually,  according to the latest M6 Handbook (printing date 1/98), the
M6 already has a self-timer built in.  Page 39's tips for maintenance 
urge you to  move and use it at least once every three  months to
prevent the grease from becoming tacky.    You can't accuse Leica of
getting too far ahead of themselves, bless their hearts.
