Hello there, I have decided to start a topic on jammed shutter issue of Leica film cameras. I experienced this issue while taking photos at the Shard. My camera had been loaded with Adox CMS 20 II, the microfilm had the highest resolving power. The first fifteen frames were beautiful to enjoy the view. Yet after 16th frame, the camera was jammed. Since I tried to force its advance lever, it was totally broken. One wondering what was happened may look at the result here. I sent my camera to Wetzlar via Leica Store Mayfair. After eight weeks, it came back to London in a repaired condition under warranty. Recently, I have heard similar experiences to mine. Some of them is not related to choose Adox's films, since they have occurred while using Ilford's HP5+, and so on. In order to build a guide for one who could experience the same, may you share your experiences on jammed shutter, or advance lever stuck?

When shooting today in Venice, Italy I hear a very thin metallic “bing” coming from a marble stairway below and I see my frameline preview lever on the floor. It unscrewed itself and fell off. Happened exclusively from using and “wearing” the camera over the shoulder and walking about 10 km a day on shoot days for the past 2 years… I never even touch the darn thing. Has this ever happened to anyone on a digital M? Or analog for that matter?
