Fortunately, I have not suffered such problems (I have two M6TTL bodies and the meters seem to be fine). Hope you manage to get it sorted soon. regards Mark Pope Swindon Wilts, UK http://www.monomagic.co.uk http://www.leica-gallery.net/mark-pope http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.pope4/Galleries/PAW/index.htm - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik van der Meulen" <e.van.der.meulen@avondel.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 9:59 AM Subject: [Leica] Unreliable M6TTL electronics > Dear Group - > > My M6TTL is giving me a bit of a headache lately.
