Posted on Monday, January 29, 2007 - 12:31 pm:        Hi, I just got a Leica R4s and the shutter is not firing. More specifically, the film advance lever will not crank, thereby the shutter wont cock and I cant take a picture. I got it out of the box this morning, and pressed the shutter once and it fired, but then I was not able to move the film advance lever again after that. It does not currently have batteries in it, nor does it have a lens attached. Is there something that I can do to try to get it to work, or must I send it in to Leica to be serviced? Thanks, Jamie   Aaron Tinkerer Username: Aaron Post Number: 6 Registered: 10-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
