Short answer..... there is no US Passport Warranty on the M8.  At least to
the degree that accidental damage is covered..... ( Per my warranty book)

A new/used camera would cost you around $2500 right now.... cheaper than  to
fix yours.....

Does any know what the US Passport warranty certificate states? I purchased
an M8 in early December 2007 from a local Phoenix, Arizona Leica Dealer. I
assume I had a Passport Warranty but can't find any warranty details. In
August of this year the camera was water damaged and Leica (US service
center) wanted $4000 to repair it. Should I have followed and sent it to
another facility for repair? Or is this not covered with the US Passport
warranty?
