Inhave been shooting M and R9 for many years, mostly gets by ok. I went out with R9 today and wind lever got stuck. I was able to rewind the film but the lever cannot advance the film. Tried replace battery, didn't solve the problem.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Did the shutter release?

 

Isnt there a multi-exposure lever you can use to see if shutter gets re-cocked?

 

Do you have a motor winder to test with (it will tell you if the fault is in the lever or in the mechanism)?

Nippon Photo did a free quick check, I was told the problem is the aperture control spring in the body is too weak, so the aperture ring lock up. Need to send to Leica NJ for serving.
