I've recently noticed that my M6 shutter seems to be doing something weird while in bulb mode. While in bulb mode, the first shutter curtain seems to stop short and remain 0.5-1mm into the film gate. This only happens in bulb mode, it clears the gate at all other shutter speeds as far as I can tell. Here is a video I recorded demonstrating what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/ENYmR7i You can see that the shutter clears the gate just fine when set to a shutter speed of 1 second, but when I switch it to bulb it seems to stop short and remains visible in the gate until the shutter release is let go and the shutter closes. I asked on Reddit but didn't get much of a response. One user did say that their M6 also does this and has no effect on the images. Can anyone else confirm? I just had my M6 overhauled by Leica NJ earlier this year so would this be something they would cover under some kind of warranty? -
I bought my M8 around a half a year ago. It was my second M mount camera (The first one was R-D1s). I enjoyed this camera very much, but several days ago i faced the first problem with this camera. Suddenly, shutter button and on/off lever became a bit off. I mean that on/off lever became much more tight and expousure lock position moved a way futher than it was before. A few dozens of millimeters behind shutter release itself. It became a common situation, when i want to lock my exposure, but because of this problem i occasionally took a photo. i found some old topics on similar issues, but photos with dismount of shutter button were unavalible. Has anyone faced the same or similar problem? What is the key to solve this problem? Can it be done at home by only myself?
