I hope everyone is well. I'm having a problem with my M6, and I'd like some ideas: while I was in India back in December and January, I started having problems with the advance lever. On some rolls--not all--but always around frame #24, the advance mechanism jams up and makes a terrible grinding sound. I know I'm using 36-exp rolls, and I'm loading film as I've done for the seven years I've had the camera. I sort of assume there's something a little wrong in the mechanism, but why does it always crop up around frame #24? And why does this only happen intermittently? Any ideas? Also, lots and lots of pictures from India, some shot with the Leica, some with the Hasselblad Xpan, up on my flickr page: www.bradbrad.com --Brad -- brad daly http://www.bradbrad.com
