I've been using my m3 for some years and I recently bought a (1984 vintage) M6 classic (non-TTL). It clearly hadn't been used much since it looked brand new but had some corrosion in the battery compartment cover. Understandably the meter has been flakey. Sometimes would work and sometimes not. I cleaned up the cover a little more vigorously and now I have a situation when there is no film in the camera, the meter works fine. When I put film in the camera, no lights (or will occasionally work). I've gone back and forth between film, not film about 4 times now and this has been consistent. This baffles me. On another note has anyone in the list had positive experiences with Leica repair people in the Chicago area? -- Thanks, Tom Irving Professor of Biology and Physics, Director Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (BioCAT) Director Center for Synchrotron Radiation Research and Instrumentation (CSRRI) Dept.
