Well, let me just mention an experience I recently had with Leica: The light-sealing foam on my R3mot went soft (deterioriated?), which is common and unavoidable after so many years. I mailed Leica and asked if I had to send the body in to have a new light sealing kit installed. They sended me a replacement for free. OK only a very low cost item and not a repair - but anyway THEY payed the postage. I don't even try to think of whether this would be done by the Nikon or Canon guys for a twenty year old camera. What will happen to my (so-called professional) F5 in twenty years? regards, Christian
