I have been doing mostly black and white work since high school. A month ago I bought a Canon Ql-17 and risked two weeks of pictures home in California to the thing. Even before I developed the film I was hooked. I really, really like shooting with a rangefinder. Soon after developing said pictures, and in a drunken rage, I put all my SLR stuff on ebay. My nice little Nikon setup yielded funds to (barely) cover a not-mint M2 and a Summarit lens. Two questions for the list: First, it looks as if all speeds below 1/60 are dragging. At 1/30 and 1/15 there is an underexposed band at the end of the shutter travel. The camera camera obviously sat for awhile--so perhaps a CLA? Second, the vulcanite is flaking (you are all so suprised). I've read several accounts on the web of people replacing it with some stuff 3M makes. Is this a good plan? Anyone make a template for this? Thanks all, Joe ===== Joseph S.
