At least Sandy had the intelligence to ask before complaining to Leica about their lack of quality. For the rest of the legitimate complaints, I suspect the dealer has a bit of the blame there. Some of the new Leicas at a dealer have been handled quite a bit. they might even take back a camera and just put it into stock until the next buyer complains. I know a lot of retailers no matter what the product will take an item back and replace it with another just to satisfy the customer and not lose a sale.
