tecumseh Posted May 18, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted May 18, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I mount a lens on my M6 it sticks just after the two red dots seperate (about .5cm) and I have to use a little force to get it to lock on the bayonet. It is the same with different lenses. I felt the mount and examined a lens mounting by holding the shutter open but can't see the problem. Â Any ideas?

sdk Posted May 19, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted May 19, 2012 Try wiping on a very thin coating of vaseline, as recommended by Leica M camera manuals, to lubricate the mount. The cameras come with a small amount of lubricant from the factory, but after a long time this can disappear or get gummy. If that does not help it may need repair.
