Hi, Can anyone tell me why two films on an M5 are partially unexposed ? On the first film, only the last two frames were exposed, and on the second film only 6 non consecutive frames out of the 36 were exposed. I have excluded reasons such as forgotten lens cap, ASA adjustment, battery problem, bad aperture/speed adjustment. It seems to me like it could be a shutter problem, but can there be another reason? Can a badly loaded film be the cause ? Does anyone have experience of this ?

I was wondering: how was the original strap for the M5? For some reasons it seems to be very difficult to find, even in pictures. From what I understand there were a version for the two-lug M5 (code 14190, see http://www.summilux.net/documents/BrochureM5.pdf), which was basically a continuous leather strap, and then another for the three-lug M5 (code 14196?), which had a leather section that passed around the lug and closed with a button (see Original Leica M5 two lug, and three Lug Strap Appearance? - Photo.net Leica and Rangefinders Forum). Anyone can cast more light on the subject? Also, was the strap included in the box? I would say yes for the two-lug, because in the brochure it is listed as "replacement", but I'm not sure about the three-lug, the polystyrene padding in the box doesn't seem to have space for it. Why is the original strap so difficult to find? Thanks, Paolo

Hello everybody, I currently have a Leica M2 and now I've been looking into the M5. I stumbled upon one for sale in my country, but I noticed in its photos that this particular camera has a strange metal part/piece in the front of the camera, right bellow the shutter speed selector. I asked the seller about it but he said he bought it like that and has no clue about what it is, he said he thinks it may be a support of some sort. I really don't know, but maybe it is something adapted there to prevent the user to change the shutter speed by accident? Just wondering about it. Apart from that, the camera is said to be working completlely fine. Has anyone ever seen something like this? Any guesses are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Is the newest 28mm f2.8 Elmarit asph. compatible with the M5? Does this lens interfere with the meter arm on the M5 when it swings into position?

Hallo, ich bin angesichts der knappen Beschreibung im Handbuch meiner gerade geschenkt bekommenen Leica M5 etwas ratlos. Wie geht man mit dem kleinen Rechenscheibchen auf der Rückwand sinnvoll um?

Hallo, ich habe ein paar wunderschöne Artikel aus Leica-Magazinen und einem Kamera-Reparatur-Magazin über die Leica M5 geerbt. Ich würde sie sehr gerne scannen, und hier zugänglich machen - frage mich allerdings, ob dies urheberrechtlich zulässig wäre. Kann mir jemand einen Tipp geben?
