Stuck aperture on the Q


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Hi all,

 

If I put the Q in Auto it would always be wide open at F1.7 but if I move it anywhere else it would just go to F16 or F14,  no matter the light, the shutter or the ISO.

 

It's in PASM mode, if switched to full Auto, it would also just go to F1.7 even in bright sun light ruining all the images.

 

I have the reset the camera, remove the battery, update the software, and problem persists.

 

Is it time to send it in for service or am I missing anything?

 

Thanks!

My guess is it’s broken. I’d probably try exercising the aperture ring and rotating the shutter speed dial just to see if I could affect it. I’d pretty quickly send it to Leica if I couldn’t get it working. Good luck. Let us know what you learn.
