Subject: [Leica] My Leica M6 TTL is dead!
From: AppleMac97@aol.com
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2000 12:40:28 EDT

My beautiful silver chrome Leica M6 TTL camera, bought only 3 months ago, 
died yesterday in mid-roll while I was taking photos in the Morton Arboretum 
in Lisle, IL.  The shutter just froze and nothing I tried could revive the 
camera.  I had shot less than 25 rolls of film since I bought the camera.  
Needless to say, I am shocked and saddened.  I thought a $2000 camera would 
be better built.  I have used many Nikon and Canon and Pentax cameras in the 
last 20 years, and none of them have ever died on me, even though I shoot 
several hundred rolls of film every year.  The Leica is covered by the 3-year 
Passport Warranty, so I will get it repaired or replaced by Leica.  In the 
meantime, what can I do to handle the withdrawal symptoms?!  Any suggestions 
from LUGers would be greatly appreciated!

P.S.  I do have a Leicaflex SL that I can use while my beloved M6 is away.
