Back to Leica for service.

Pascal, you have the distinction of being the 3rd listmember with this problem.
Dr. Joseph Yao being one and I cannot recal the other.

I think Joseph said it was a problem with flex circuitry within the camera. Its
a sad commentary on the quality of Panasonic (Matsushita) and Leica.
