Subject: M6 malfunctions
From: CapsTeeth@aol.com

I've read some posts on this group re: slow-speeds and the film counter
malfunctioning on late-model M6's, but are there any other common problems
that seem to plague this model?  Also, in reference to the above problems,
has anyone had it/them happen again after being fixed?  I've been told by
"reliable sources" that the M6 is more delicate and susceptible to
problems--in particular those caused by vibration--than the older models;
other "reliable sources" have said that this is simply not true.  Some input
based on actual photographer use would be appreciated here.
Thanks!
Doc
