Subject: [Leica] crappy m7 lock.

I'm having trouble with the film advance which seems to freeze for a few 
hours every now and then and forces
me to use my m7 only when I can carry a back up body.

My M7 shutter release lock is crap.
6 months after the last repair, it is acting up again.
When I unlock the shutter release I have to 'double clutch' the release.
IE, press it (it jams) and press again to get it to work.
After that it works fine until I lock it/ unlock it again.

The lock always seemed poorly made and jiggly/loose to me.

Anyone else?

Eric
