Luckily, Leica replaced it on the spot with a new M7 (serial #288xxx). The added benefit is no rangefinder flare. I was hoping that the ISO and exposure compensation lock would be switched on this later model (so that the little button locked ISO and the exposure-comp would rotate freely), but no luck. Has anyone had this modification done? Who can do it? Karen p.s. The old M7 had three failures: 1) severe, severe rangefinder flaring; 2) the shutter button jammed (despite my taking Kyle's advice to keep pushing it), and 3) the DX coding failed. I think it was a lemon. The new one seems to be fine but I really haven't had a chance to break it yet. - -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
