Any damage to the visoflex?  Or would the camera malfunction hide that issue until placed on another camera?

The way I am getting it, this is an electronic issue!....

 

according to Dr. Ulrich who is a scientist, closely associated to Leica AG; this is the issue:

My visoflex works just fine in my T, still.

I sold my Visoflex when I ditched the T some time ago - I am waiting for a price for a replacement.

 

Hopefully, this is a software issue. I charged my TL2 yesterday when it arrived; I've mounted the SL zooms and M mount lenses on it, not TL lenses (I don't have any yet). Too dark to take any pictures. Played with menus, battery still full this morning.

 

I have noticed at times (eg when changing M mount lenses or when sliding the camera out of the soft bag I'm using) the red AF light goes off at times, with the camera switched off. Anyone else noticed this?
