If your descriptions and sketchy resolutions to problems only happened once then I'd almost understand, since everyone makes mistakes. But you did two problematic transactions within a week, so that tells me that you are not to be trusted. I realize that I'm screwed out of at least $375 and many hours of hassles and shipping fees.
I have to answer one more time, sorry for the other members.
Frank, you boght the M2 on 1st of Dec, and the Summicron 1st of Jan. There were a month gap, if you do math in right way. Please think who is trying to emphasize this strange issue, and lying.
As I told you, I am not a professional and that's why I am giving an inspection period. I never ever heard that someone trying to screw up the transaction after 3 monthes later.
By the way, I have to quote your post, since you changed your post after I replied. I do not make others missunderstand again.

I want to update the information from Youxin Ye directly. This is the email from Youxin. I changed the person's name who bought the M2 from Frank to NEW OWNER.
1) 1st email from Youxin
Noah,
After NEW OWNER got the camera, he told me it has uneven exposure problem. I increased the shutter slit on the camera. I think too much slit will cause shutter work irregularly. From your side and Frank side, all told me the camera was good initially. When NEW OWNER sent me the camera, I tested speeds at left, middle and right, all worked fine. NEW OWNER is a college student, I believe he is a beginner too.
Regards,
Youxin
2) my reply
Youxin,
You mean there is a possiblity that the change (increasing the shutter slit) might cause the problem, right?
Thanks,
Noah
3) answer from Youxin
Noah,
It is possible if we adjust shutter speeds back to normal. In worst case, I think the shutter brake may need change. But I have to see after adjust shutter speeds back to normal first. The third owner **** really drove me crazy, with two people tested the camera and he insist the camera had uneven exposure.
Regards,
Youxin

This email confirmed that Frank got the good working M2 from me. That's what he told to Youxin.
At least he told the M2 had no problem mechanically to me, Youxin, and his own thread (about only a week ago, read the second comment by Frank in the middle of page,
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116685 )
Frank hided the point that Youxin Ye had to increase the shutter slit. This change is the major problem now, since possible problems can occur when Youxin adjust shutter sppeds back to normal.
I really do not understand why he try to open the case with me. Certainly I do not have any responsibility for the possible user caused problem after I sold the M2 long time ago, 3 monthes.
