Subject: [Leica] M6 desease

Hello group .
Just for info , I'd like to let you know that one of my M6 ( actually the one 
I care the most for ) has quit living the other day .
It's a camera I don't use too much because it is very clean , just like new .

Suddenly the B speed was replaced by some sort of high speed , and also 
the 1/8 th seemed very fast . The other speeds seemed very harsh , almost
violently shacking the camera !

This happened just one year after the last maintenance from Leica Germany 
for what was apparently a speed problem also .
So the damn thing is on it's way to Leica Germany , along with the last data
sheet of what they did , and I 've been told by my local Leica dealer that 
they 
shouldn't charge anything on this case .

Anyone had the same problem ?
