david_killick Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Alas, my minilux, having produced many pleasing pictures, now says EO2 on its LCD and whirrs and whizzes to no avail. Any clues to what ails it before I take it to the holistic Leica healer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel_tan1 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Your camera's shutter mechanism probably will need to be replaced. <p> Read the following link: http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=003pRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel_tan1 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Sorry, gave you a wrong link. <p> Nevertheless, my minilux had the same error code and eventually got its shutter mechanism replaced at about US$160 ! <p> U may find out more info regarding E02 in the LUG: http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/cgi-bin/htsearch? words=minilux+e02&config=lugpast&method=and&sort=score&matchesperpage= 60&format=short&Submit=Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_killick Posted December 5, 2001 Author Share Posted December 5, 2001 Thanks Samuel. Oh dear. You're right. I followed the links and then phoned the Leica dealer here who said, yep, the shutter needs replacing at about $US150. It seems this is a "known issue", AKA design fault, which doesn't say much about electronic longevity. So what should I do with the minilux I wonder? I am glad I have got some good images with it, and also that I have two, much older mechanical Leicas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
