jonathanccwong Posted August 11, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, so I recently got a M6 TTL with a .85 magnification. Looking through it, I am able to see the 35mm frame lines that is very bright and bold.However, when I move the preview lever to the right, I don't see other frame lines appearing.I attached a 50mm Summicrion v1 rigid on the camera and I can see a very faint top line at times but it is not always very clear. Does anyone know what can be the cause of this? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted August 11, 2016 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2016 Sounds like the frame mask is stuck. It should be a simple repair. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanccwong Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted August 12, 2016 Hmm what a bummer Looks like I need to send it off to be repaired. Thank you so much for your reply. hope it's not going to be too much (price wise) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverboy Posted July 20, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Jonathan, Did you get the issue resolved? I have just acquired an otherwise immaculate M6TTL with the same problem. The vendor apparently hasn't used it much for a few years. I often use a 50mm lens and I'm not experienced with an 8.5 viewfinder so I think I need the frame. Can't find anyone here in New Zealand to take on a repair, so looks like I may have to send it to Germany. I have no idea what kind of bill to expect if I do that, but I'm feeling the pain already... Has anyone had an M6 or similar CLA'd by Leica Germany? Or know of a reputable service technician in New Zealand ( or Australia )? Any advice would be helpful!

Thanks I highly recommend Peter: http://www.camerarepairs.com.au But first try just moving it lots and lots, it might free up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
