Leica M6TTL Problem

[pinjose]

My Leica M6TTL (used moderately, bought new in October 2003) suddenly is showing only the 35mm frame lines even when i switch to 50 or 90mm lens.


The frame preselector in front of the camera seems to move correctly when i mount 35, 50 or 90 mm but nothing changes on the viewfinder!
Only the 35mm frame line !


Someone could tell me if there is some way to solve this problem?


Sorry for my poor english. Thank you.

Hi pinjose
there was a thread on Pnet concerning a similar problem with an M6 and it's framelines - the link is here:

I had the same problem with my M6 when I bought it used (good price), except that mine could only show the 50/75 frames. I had it sent to DAG and he fixed it for ~$100, it had jammed because some grease had got onto the frameline assembly. He told me that it happens now and then with the M6 so it's probably nothing to worry about, just give it a CLA.
