Steve,
Your question strikes a sensitive note as I just returned from the
UPS store having sent my M6 to Leica in NJ because it has been jamming. It
would advance smoothly for approximately 20 exposures on 36 exp roll and
then lock up. Taking the film out seemed to cure the problem for the next
approximately 20 exposures when it would again jam. It has given me 15
years of steady faithful service so I guess that it is time for a CLA at
least.
