There should only be one expectation! "we own Leicas and they have worked perfectly for years" and they have survived as the leader of quality since the beginning and there isn't any reason for it not to provide the same kind of expected quality and operation today. And if that isn't the case "why buy them?" And that is the question for each and everyone of us to ask and for Leica to listen to and answer. If they don't, they will find themselves in really deep economic sales situations as they can only survive on reputation for so long, if the word gets out that "buy one and it will fall apart in your hands"! I believe this thread may do some good if all the complaints can be gathered at one site and mass mailed to both Germany and USA. ted
