Subject: [Leica] Re: Problem with M6 scratching film

My first film back from the lab from my new M6 classic (#2422xxx).  Sure
enough, scratches on the negs (tmax 100) like train tracks.  On some
prints (3x5 machine prints) they appear too.  (Happy with some of the
results nonetheless, with this my first time using a rangefinder, etc.)

What do we do about this?  I'm not hysterical (I could be--I'm the person
who has the faulty brand-new summicron 50mm too).  I'm a little peeved,
but also understand that everything has its flaws.  It would be nice to
get this taken care of, however. 

Most importantly: has anyone had any luck getting the problem fixed?
