A couple more images from a photo-foray into our national Parliament House a couple of weeks back.

ZM25...a portrait line-up of some ex Prime Ministers. The one closest is of John Gorton who was also a WW II fighter pilot.

Today we found a bobcat under our back porch! Not something typically seen in the city... After we walked around the corner of the house, we found a clue as to why he was there.I'll probably post more shots from my trip as time permits, though I really have to find time to make sure everything works on the camera.If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your 246 that required repair?
Three issues
1. When taking a shot occasionally the red light would come on and never go off, I would need to remove the battery before being able to take another shot. This only occurs when shooting a lot of shots usually on all day shoots.
2. The shutter showed signs it was starting to fail occasional shots were starting to show a single black line occurs the image.
3. The viewfinder no longer showed clear focus. Split lines no longer were lining up when set to near infinity. I knew it wasn't a lens issue as the same lenses put on my Classic MM (M243) everything was fine. I was travelling when this occurred so I just shot everything at F8 and I didn't miss any shots I wanted.
They replaced the shutter and one of the internal I/O boards but I still haven't had the opportunity to shoot with it for more than just a couple of shots. Until I can get out and do a full days shooting I won't know 1 and 2 are fully resolved. 3 is resolved.

Some more from Parliament House. It was in a period of extremely hot weather. Although the somewhat muted sky in the first one belies this, it's often the way our sky looks on a 35 deg C day.

The white building in the middle-distance is the Old Parliament House. The monolithic building in the distance is the Australian War Memorial, a fabulous if thought-provoking place.

The ghostly beams seen through the skylight are immense stainless steel supports for the flagpole above the whole building, as shown below (VM 50 f/1.5 Nokton LTM at f6.3).

Finally, here's one from my earliest Leica digital rangefinder days. Charlie has been extolling the (continued) virtues of an M8, sentiments I wholeheartedly endorse.

By which I mean, kudos.

Hey Jon it is a lot of luck and I really look at the shot and really wish I would have been at an angle that he and the bag were dead on profile and he was in a wide stride like the Michael on the bag with the strong graphics in the background. I did catch him in stride though. Thanks Jon.

Thank you for the info! I hope your 246 is completely fixed and any gremlins are gone for good.
Hmm, now I'm a bit curious about the shutter life on these new M cameras. 150k actuations? More?

I think my shutter issue on the 246 was an abnormality. My 243 only had 1 issue and that was on an extremely cold day. Otherwise it has continued to work flawlessly.

My M262 was on strike recently, since the news of the M10 started circulating, but after I assured her that I will not replace her by a younger more attractive camera, now she's back to work again
