Today I got my first Leica rangefinder (an M4 in a very good condition) but I stumbled upon 2 issues Loading Film I followed the manual instructions and everything seemed to be fine until I discovered that the film was not advancing (at frame 40+): what did I do wrong? Bright Framelines In some angles in the 35/135 lines framelines mode I see (sometimes) one of the 50mm framelines reflection (just a thin line and only the bottom line): is this a normal reflection issue? thanks in advance for your feedback

Hi everyone, I'm planning to switch to Leica IXMOO reloadable film cassettes for bulk loading. However, the 5 cassettes that I managed to purchase all contain some degree of oxidation, so I'd like to give them a clean before putting them to use. Can anyone recommend a product and method with which to do this? I've heard vinegar works quite well, but obviously an IXMOO is a little more advanced than a doorknob, so I wanted to check first. Thanks in advance -
Dear fellow sufferers, OK, it's just a minor thing but still: I bought 2 batteries with my M9-P. One charged without flaws but when I tried to charge the other one, both LEDs of the charger were blinking - loading error. So I returned that one to the Leica Store where I bought it. They gave me a new one without debate and I bought 2 additional ones. (Just to get prepared for the Vietnam trip later this year.) Now, when I try to charge these, it's the same loading error in the charger. I put them into the cam, took some photos, put them back into the charger and again: loading error. Any ideas or tricks someone? Is it the charger and not the batteries? Or is there nothing else left than to return the batteries again? Perhaps someone can help me. Cheers Jochim

I started using a Leica M3 a few days ago. After loading the film, the rewind lever pushes the film forward; however, the rewind knob (to the left) does not rotate. It starts rotating after about 5 exposures, and then the lever becomes really stiff. Any idea what the problem might be?
