The shutter just froze and nothing I tried could revive the camera. I had shot less than 25 rolls of film since I bought the camera. Needless to say, I am shocked and saddened. I thought a $2000 camera would be better built. I have used many Nikon and Canon and Pentax cameras in the last 20 years, and none of them have ever died on me, even though I shoot several hundred rolls of film every year. The Leica is covered by the 3-year Passport Warranty, so I will get it repaired or replaced by Leica. In the meantime, what can I do to handle the withdrawal symptoms?! Any suggestions from LUGers would be greatly appreciated! Muhammad Chishty P.S. I do have a Leicaflex SL that I can use while my beloved M6 is away. ************************ Muhammad R.K.
