The fact that something is designed to work until it breaks - without servicing along the way - doesn't necessarilly mean that it is well made, or better made than something that requires servicing. All it means is that certain formerly serviceable parts are now sealed, or what ever, and don't require servicing. But that often means that they can't be serviced and must be replaced. By the way, this is a generic comment, not a Leica-specific comment, as I don't claim to know squat about the innerds of my camera. :-) >
