It may have been floating around for a while. The camera ultimately locked up in the middle of film advance. I had to take it to a repairman. I didn't details. The person who did the repair just showed me the piece of film and handed me the fully functioning camera. I believe he had to partially disassemble the body to fix it. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Barbour [mailto:kididdoc@cox.net] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 1:19 PM To: Leica Users Group (LUG) Subject: [Leica] M7 jam... While on a trip recently my M7 (bought new, 3-4 y old, no prior problems) jammed irreversibly... I could not advance film, I could not depress the shutter release... I took it to the two top places in Paris, no solution and they said it would have to go to Solms... likely for a month. Have any persons here ever had this sort of problem occur with an M7 or an M6? Please give me the details re event, cause, fix, outcome, other... appreciated, thanks, Steve
