My Leica MP has started doing something annoying.
On approx shot 30-35, the shutter button becomes impossible to press, locked solid as if the shutter wasn't cocked.
The problem always resolves itself in a few panicky seconds as I waggle the shutter, the frame advance, probably my head too.
Then things work fine again and I have a nice shot of the floor.
I always advance the camera immediately after any shot so it isn't that and this problem only occurs very late in the roll.
It's got me stumped and is one of those difficult to reproduce problems that I know will be a pain if I send the camera anywhere for repair.
Anyone have any tips on what it might be? Or how I can diagnose what it is? It's meant more than a few missed shots now.
