[Leica] Return of my M9 - Frank F.

[Frank Filippone]

Yes, seems very unfair to have this kind of lousy luck.  I too woud press Fuji for repair costs.

I must admit to being a bit surprosed that the card slot had any mechanical  access to the shutter area..... 

Lesson for us all... if the label of any SD or CF ( or other) card  looks the least bit loose, get rid of the card. Gerry’s card was not worth $10, and it cost him $220 to fix the probem it caused.  Not a good ROI.

Frank The original problem with my M9 was that the label from a SD card had come off in the card slot and worked its way into the shutter mechanism. I was unable to determine which brand of card it was until the label was returned from Leica as all SD cards look pretty much the same with no label. It turned out to be a Fujifilm 16gB C10 HD card, and the label returned is looks virtually new apart from a small crease on one corner where presumable it hit a shutter blade. This repair cost 178€ ($220) and I feel I should be compensated for that together with the cost of the card(s) I have from Fujifilm.
