Peter, doesn't Leica have a distributor in Japan through whom you can get 
the camera repaired without sending it yourself? I agree the line is totally 
unacceptable, as is Leica's quality control in this case. I have recently 
seen someone get a replacement M9 (the first one he bought had enough 
problems for Leica to decide to replace it) and the new M9 had a problem 
with the LCD screen. The level of quality control is really disappointing 
given the price of these cameras.

Cheers,
Nathan
