I have recently bought a Leica M3 with a 3 month warranty.
The first roll of film showed capping of exposure at a shutter speed of 1/1000 sec but this has been sorted by the retailer sending it away for a CLA.
This first roll of film also showed an artefact on 2 frames, none on a second roll, but it has re-appeared on a single frame on a third roll, as an irregular white shape on the left edge of the image..
I am puzzled as to what might be causing this and concerned that it might represent a significant problem with the camera. In that case I would return it for a refund but this would be a pity since the camera is in good condition with a wonderful Summicron 50 mm f2 lens.
I have attached a copy of the image.
I would be grateful for any opinions.
