Something similar happened to me with a Hasselblad 203FE.

Newell Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 8:39 PM To: Leica Users Group; 'Leica Users Group' Subject: [Leica] Goofy M6 Meter Behavior My M6 acted up a little yesterday and I can't figure out why - throwing this out for any comments or suggestions. We drove a couple of hours to visit my sister's family and my parents yesterday. After an hour or so, I got out my M6 - meter does not respond. I check the obvious (shutter not at B, lens cap off) - no change. I replaced the battery with a fresh battery - still no change. I fiddled a little bit to make sure that the ASA/shutter speed/aperture were within a normal range so that the absence of > < LEDs couldn't just mean out of measuring range - still no change. I put it away and went back to enjoying the day. When we got home, I got the M6 out - it is working fine. Odd, I though. I put in the "dead" battery that had been in it when we started - it is also working fine. There were no extreme tempertures involved...nothing else I can think of. I am puzzled and wonder if I'm forgetting something that should be obvious, or whether the camera was just taking the holiday?
