If you have the 3 year Passport Warrenty, if the camera doesn't work after the fall, all you have to do is send Leica USA the pieces and they will repair it or send you a new camera FREE. Bill Erfurth Evergreen, CO I did in fact drop my R7 onto rockbed by knocking over a tripod which had the R7 and 35-70mm Vario Elmar mounted. Leica USA is fixing it at no charge under the Passport Protection warranty. A second camera body, R6.2, was caught in a sandstorm during the same shoot and the meter system became non-operational. Leica USA is also fixing that body at no charge under the Passport Protection program. I'm most pleased by the program and will have to be very careful when it expires I a few years. Paul T.
