Robert,

I had pretty much the same experience with service in NJ on my SF-20 flash.  Mine was not under warranty though.  I got the same " it is on the technician's bench" story as you got.  My repairs took approximately 6 weeks, give or take a couple days.

> During the middle of May, I was having trouble with my SF20 flash unit 
as it would not charge..even with sets of fresh batteries.  Since it was 
under warranty, I sent it to Leica USA in Northvale, NJ.  At the end of 
May, I received a printout indicating that the unit was received and 
should be repaired in three weeks.  As of yesterday, I had not heard 
anything so I phone Leica and spoke with a service representative.  The 
person I spoke with indicated that they were behind and my unit was on 
the technician's test bench being worked on right now.  Imagine that! 
 Well, anyway, I was told to expect it back the end of next week which 
will effectively be two months since it was sent to Leica.  I'm curious 
abou LUG experiences with Leica repair....this seems an excessively long 
repair to me.  Have others experienced this as well?  Maybe this is the 
typical length of time it takes for a repair, but I don't know.
