Of the 24 pictures in total, 14 are blank frames. And no, I did not accidentally photograph the inside of my camera bag this many times, since I follow the standard Leica RF practice of not advancing the film before putting the camera in the bag. I guess the lens shutter is sticking, i.e. not opening about half the time. Given that I only paid $300 for this camera, the fact that it has turned into a paperweight is annoying but not devastating. But it does mean that I am on the lookout for a reliable 6x7 or 6x9 MF outfit. Or I should just stop this film foolishness and get on with life in the 21st century.
