Leica LTM collapsible question

brachal · Aug 23, 2007

Is it OK to wind and fire the shutter on a Leica IIIf with the lens collapsed?

Sould be. It's OK on an M.

It's OK -- when there's no film in the camera.

I've done it many times on my IIIc. No problem. Don't understand why the presence of film would make a difference though?

The photo is only exposed in the centre and it is way out of focus.

Now how do I know that...
