[Leica] My M2 is stuck!

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks guys! I am not brave enough to finger the shutter, so the camera will get sent to Wil van Manen in the Netherlands. Fortunately, I also have my Fuji X-E3 and the Ricoh GR2 with me here in Paris, so I will not have to rely on my phone.

Cheers,
Nathan
