Re: [Leica] Unreliable Leica or unreliable user ?

["Bruce Burnett" <bburnett@bitcorp.net>]

So far I have had only one problem with the new Leica equipment I have
purchased and that was the new M polarizer.  It fell apart and it took
Leica,
NJ, six weeks to screw it back together.  On the same vein of QC, a friend
of mine purchased a new 28-70 2.8 L Canon lens today and had to take it back
because of a big black speck on the internal elements.  Leica isn't the only
one with QC problems.
