After fiddling and experimenting the only answer I came up with was: when I had advanced the film all the way out to its full length it seemed to put some sort of tension (I guess) on the mechanism and the motorized rewind wouldn't work; I could manually rewind the film just a little bit and then the motor could be activated. If I didn't squeeze off that last exposure or two the motorized rewind switch would work just fine. Your Mileage May Definitely Vary, but this Worked For Me. - --Bob - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
