[Leica] 50 Summilux-Asph warranty update

[jbcollier at shaw.ca (John Collier)]

Though I must confess that what is happening to me would not encourage 
a new Leica user to expand their kit. It would be a heck of a shock to 
a newbie to find out that they would be without their lens for a 
considerable period of time after spending $2500US. What the solution 
is for a small company like Leica, I don't know. Perhaps they could 
loan a replacement lens until the problem is sorted out. Obviously not 
a Summilux as they do not have any and they are a very low production 
lens even in the non-Asph. But the loan of a Summicron might go a long 
way to keeping the new customer happy.

This is just theoretical musings as I do not want the loan of 
Summicron, thank you very much.
