Not only that, but I had to ruin a film with 34 exposures on it just to get the thing unjammed. I've been using Leicas since the early 60's and this is the first time one has ever failed me. But of course, the Minilux isn't a REAL Leica:-) Bud R. Saylor" wrote: > [Snip] > > > P.S. I knew I should have bought my wife an M6:-( > > Nope.
