[Leica] Film winding problem

[mail at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

I know I'm coming to this a bit late, but thank you for the link. I had
_exactly_ the same problem occur with my M6 on a recent trip to France
and was about to take the camera in for repair. Removing the rewind
crank and juggling the washers has fixed the problem.

Thanks

Steve
