Oh well, I am going to keep using my hand held meter until I pick up a second M body. I can't be without a camera for that lomg. I have been meaning to pick up a spare body anyway. I can't see myself using them both at the same time but I think it's a must when you only use M bodies. Leica M cameras seem to quite durable but when they need to get fixed one should expect them to be gone for a while. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Hehl" <chehl@comcast.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 4:16 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] M6 TTL Meter > Alvaro, > > I recently had the same problem on onw of my M6TTL's. > > I sent the camera to Leica USA for repair.
