Subject: [Leica] Dead Meter Lives!

I don't know if any of you have ever had this happen, but it turns out
that the "dead" selenium cell on my new Canon 7 isn't at dead at all.  
Today I tapped the meter window, and suddenly it was reading with perfect
accuracy.  Seems to work on both high and low settings, no problem.  I'm
quite pleased with this, as suddenly my camera's worth a few hundred
dollars more.  (The meter in this particular model is near impossible to
fix, I'm told.)

I suppose something was holding the meter needle in place, and my tap
dislodged it.

Btw, I'll be at the camera show tomorrow in Manhattan.  Anyone else
coming?
