mmx_2 Posted January 20, 2017 Share #1 Â Posted January 20, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi! Â Sorry if this has already been discussed here, I tried a search but I didn't find anything. I bought a small collection of Leica R-lenses the other day and along with it came an Leica R7 that has some problems. The shutter works perfectly but in the little display in the viewfinder A5 shows up all the time and none of the program modes works. My assumption is that the ligthmeter is broken but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone who knows? And second question (that I already likely know the answer to ), can it be repaired at a fair cost? Otherwise the camera of course works great in "fully manual mode" Â Cheer, Â Joakim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShutter Posted February 15, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted February 15, 2017 Do you think the time(s) you choose in manual mode run correctly ? What sort of lens type did you mount ? Know what I mean ?

mmx_2 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share #3 Â Posted February 15, 2017 HI! Â Thanks for response . I have tried with several different R-lenses, 35-70 f 4 (ROM and R-only), I also tried 80-200 f4 (ROM and R-only) and Apo-Macro Elmarit 100 (R-only) but they all behave the same. I think the manual times work as they should, at least from 1s-1/125s the sound "right", the higer ones of course all sound a like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShutter Posted February 15, 2017 Share #4  Posted February 15, 2017 Never had that with a R7 and I own two bodies for a while. Is there something with the exposure override ? Did you test it with a dx-film inside and how is the setting ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmx_2 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share #5 Â Posted February 16, 2017 Thank you so much! Man do I feel stupid, it was the DX that was the problem. My film a non-DX set to DX . Thanks a lot for your help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
