Yup, Murphy's law....it always happens at the most
inappropriate time. I once used my M6 for a friend's
wedding reception. Now this camera had never failed me
for the 10 years that I had been using it. But that
night I shot 4 rolls and they all developed
inconsistent exposure due to shutter bounce.
