I took it to a technician and he told me he couldn't quote me the price before open it. In fact, the camera is totally out of function (except the battery check button), even the mechanical shutter 100x is not working, and I found the mirror failed to spring and return , where even focusing can't be done. The technician told me the worst situation is the 'housing' broken, which will be a terrific price to fix that. I dare not send it to Leica believing that they will charge a horrible price. Does anybody know what should I do? If I don't fix it, it's really painful to put it to trash! I wonder how come the camera is such fragile! I drop my Canon New F-1 before more seriously, but the camera is not hurt inside. Any opinion/suggestion welcome. Rgds.
