I've just have a Leica M6. But I see shutter curtain as image (white line).

Could you please tell me, any problem with my camera?

Thanks you so much!

Hi, this might just a bit of dirt/ dust, so no problem in my opinion.

No problem that I am aware of.

 

Typically an actual problem with the shutter will manifest as:

 

1. Uneven exposure across the frame of an exposed negative

2. Difficulty winding on, or rough winding

3. Exposed shutter edge metal strip

4. Advance lever is locked

 

If you experience 2 or 4, do not force the advance lever. If you experience 1 or 3, it may we’ll be a shutter adjustment issue.

 

In any event, don’t poke the shutter curtain, pull at it, hold it open with your finger, or mess with it in any way. Take it to a known to be good Leica repairer and let them fix the proble.
