Subject: [Leica] Shutter Exercise

Hello,

  For two nights, I have exercised my Nikon S whose shutter was kind of
stuck at all speeds.  Now it starts working fine after extensive exercise
saving some money.  I have had some Nikon rangefinder bodies and Contax
rangefinder bodies  whose shutter was bettered after some exercises.
However, I have never succeeded in reviving any Leica camera whose shutter
was sticking.  I wonder why extensive shutter exercises can revive the Nikon
and Contax rangefinder shutters but not Leica's.  I was strictly referring
to sticking shutter.  I am kind of curious.

Regards,
David
