Could your meter BATTERY have EXPIRED? You know, the M6 continues to work mechanically without the meter. I think you, rather than the camera could be the problem. Steve Annapolis>> Steve: Thanks so much for your helpful response! NOT!!! I think I mentioned in my original posting that the shutter had jammed. I rewound the film and took it out of the camera. I took the lens off and put it back on again. I put in a new set of batteries just to make sure that was not the problem. Nothing I tried would work. The shutter stayed jammed. I also looked inside to make sure dirt or any solid objects had not jammed the mechanism. That's why the camera went back to Leica for servicing. I have been taking photos for twenty years, have used many different systems and formats, and I know my way around cameras and lenses. So your comment that "I think you, rather than the camera could be the problem" is presumptuous and rude since you know nothing about me or the problem at hand. I am glad that other LUGers have responded to this both on and off list in more constructive manner. Muhammad ************************* Muhammad R.K.
