My M6 does not like the fujifilm canister . .

[vha]

It´s a bit strange but so it is . .
Have been shooting Kodak bw400pro for the last year, in the beginning the unloading of the film was a bit stiff, had to pull with a leatherman to get the film out of the camera, but for the last two months it finally got normal . .
Today I went on a walkabout in Cordoba and just put some 200 superia in the bag for the fun of it. Took me 5 minutes and lots of bad language to get the camera loaded . . and some scary pulling with the leatherman to get the film out again . .

Strange, been working with photography since 97 and never heard about some like this, likes the superia 200 and think it would do fine with the 50 elmar, but I dont like the ide of pulling the M6 apart . .

Anyone ?

thanks.

I normally use various types of Fuji and have neverhad a problem with a Leica. Beareing in mind the difficulty you had with the Kodak to start, I would suspect a problem with the camera.

My M-6 works just fine with Fuji and Kodak cannisters, smooth wind-on, smooth rewind. It sounds like a problem with your camera, not the M-6 in general.

It's the camera not the film.

Your camera is kaput. I have not had any problems like you've described

Same. No problems with any brand of film cannisters in my M6TTL.

You know something's wrong when you need a Leatherman or a crowbar.

I would say its your camera that is having a bad time with the canisters. Ive never had a problem like that before with any camera...

Problem solved by using the GR1s for fujifilm superia 200.
