I loved this camera and it does take great pictures but I made a mistake and on one of the very important photoshoots I noticed that one of the leaf shutter stopped functioning and it was covering 1/3 of the lens.

I did the worst possible thing you could only do- I torn those leaf off to finish the photoshoot.

The pictures were great but at what cost…

After that the camera started struggling with taking pictures when you push the button. It feels like leica tries to take a picture but can’t.

I believe the problem is that the camera doesn’t have the leaves (blades).

Im not sure if it can be fixed or it should go to parts.

Besides that everything else is working- display, lens, flash, etc.
