[Leica] M6 TTL Meter

[chehl at comcast.net (Charles Hehl)]

Alvaro,

I recently had the same problem on onw of my M6TTL's.

I sent the camera to Leica USA for repair.  It cost $262.00 and 6-weeks, but 
it is fixed.  They never indicated the exact problem...although I suspect it 
was the a problem with the ASA dial on the back door.
