zkramez Posted July 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Today I was using my M9 and I could not get the range finder to work at all. Nothing was showing up. Just a redishhhhh glow. I turned the camera off and back on a few times. It started working again. I have a TTartisan 5mm lens. Could this be the lens? Or is it an issue with the rangefinder?

a.noctilux Posted July 28, 2022 Share #4 Posted July 28, 2022 Idiot only once 😇. Using Leica M is a long time learning journey, nothing wrong with that: ..next would be (frommy experiences) : - I took sometimes non-recharged battery as backup - let the lens capped in hurry shot, then waiting the shutter to close - etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted August 5, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 5, 2022 Finger blockage and lens cap not removed are two common issues that are non-emergencies and do not require sending the camera in for repair. If something goes sideways, there are the first two things to check. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
