<p>Hi,<br /> I bought a used M6 a few months ago and finally am done with my first roll. When I tried to unload it, I couldn't figure out how to do it. According to the manual, I am supposed to move the film rewind lever to the "R" position. The lever is spring loaded and when I move it to "R" it just springs back. I have tried spinning the rewind knob with the lever manually held down and with it released (not R). Neither have any difference in feeling (tension).<br /> Some information:<br>
The camera had a CLA from Leica NJ and wasn't used until I bought it. I put a roll of Portra in there (36 exposures). Each time I shoot a picture, the film counter did go up. I could not tell when the film ran out because I was able to keep shooting, past count 36. Thinking I was lucky and able to squeeze out some more, I kept shooting. Only this morning did I make a note that it was on 38, did I notice that any subsequent shots were not advancing the count. Clearly this was the end of the roll.<br>
However, like I said, I can use the advance lever and shutter button just fine.<br>
When I spin the rewind knob, the counter doesn't go down. Should it?<br>
Why am I not able to put the rewind lever on R and have it stay there?<br>
How come the camera doesn't stop me from shooting once I reached the end of the roll?<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
