We just got back from Vegas and during the trip, the Minilux stopped advancing film and neither would it rewind. I finally had to bite the bullet and open up the camera with the film in it. It turns out that there is a small (1/2 inch) spring clip with a roller attached floating around inside and it had jammed the film on the take-up spool. I believe this clip is used to guide the film leader into the take-up spool but I haven't anything to show me where it goes or how to re-insert it. If anyone has an opportunity to look inside their Minilux and can tell me something about this clip, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll have to send it off to Leica. P.S. I knew I should have bought my wife an M6:-( TIA, Bud Cook
