There's a hole in my M6!!
I recently noticed an occasional light-leak in my M6.
It appeared worst when my back was to brilliant sunlight.
I traced the problem to a missing upper left-side rivet from the back plate,
revealing a one-millimeter hole into which light can enter and
burn a small portion of the film at the bottom.
I blocked it up with a piece of electrical tape and the camera works fine now.
But I DO have mixed feelings about that...
fixing a Leica with electrical tape feels something like
re-attaching a Rolls-Royce bumper with duct-tape!
I'd LIKE to have it repaired, but suspect the expense
might be excessive.
Any thoughts on this?
