Hey guys, I've faced with jammed shutter issue with my Leica M6.
I've tried to shoot a roll of film and at about 10-11 frame my shutter has been jammed, after some time camera starts to shoot again without any issues (and I didn't do anything to fix this).
After another ~5 frames, shutter jammed again, and it happens to me a few times and I just thought that this is a sign to CLA (maybe some lubricants are dried), but sometimes camera works perfectly, and this happened to me again after one roll of film.
I've inspected the camera and found that when the shutter jammed, and I try to push on a shutter, the bottom plate (where diagram how to load a film) uplifted on a right side (where the shutter button is), so I decided to open it and inspect the camera a bit closer.
After removing the bottom plate, this little nut has fallen to my hands, and shutter started to work normally again, so I guess this is a problem of my jammed shutter.
And now, I'm afraid of this little guy, from where it unscrewed, is it okay to still use a camera? (I'm unable to give it somebody to CLA because I'm far away from them).
