It happens unexpectedly, that warning triangle with +/- sign appears in the viewfinder and the exposure reading is incorect. When I push slightly the exposure compensation ring (without switching the exposure comp. knob) the triangle disapears and there is correct reading. Of course the compensation ring is on "0" when the false reading happens. I wrote to Leica in Solms and they answered immediately that they could check it out, but the service could be expansive so maybe I could live with it. After a deep look in my wallet I decided to live with it.
