The lady who checked my M6 during the last Leica day in K&S here in
Palo Alto did that with my camera, fogging a few frames of Tri-X
before I could react.

She gave me a new rewing knob for free to replace the one I crushed
though, so it was a good deal :-)

More than half the roll was OK, though. The new rewind knob looks a
bit funny in my beat-up black M6...
