Good point Jim - Is there no lawyer or representative for the LUG
that can index all these complaints and send them to Roger Horn
or someone at Leica that can at least respond to the questions
of a group this size (How big is the group anyway?) I know that
the LHSA has over 2500 members but their orientation seems
to be quite different than the LUG. I think that it is foolish of us
just to nit pic with each other & for others to keep going over the
same subjects that all ready have been covered.
A month ago, when I first joined the lug, I was pounced upon
& criticised for daring to suggest that something was wrong with
the quality control & customer relations with the Solms regime.
Face up to the fact that the M6 & R8 are just cameras (expensive
ones) and they don't belong on a pedestal or an altar.
We need a "Consumers Advocate" to get our beloved Corvair
fixed, so that we can enjoy taking pictures again; but then again,
some people just like to yak & complain about what's wrong with
the world.

I've been reading with interest the M6 problem reports. If I were
experiencing these problems with one of the worlds best cameras, I'd be
screaming my bloody head off. Being an R user, I have not experienced any
problems. I wonder why the plethora of problems seems to be associated with
the M camera. And the problems always seem to be the same. Wind lever
falling off, frame counter not working, etc. Someone is not yelling loud
enough. THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! Is there any set of problems that plagued
the R cameras? I've had R3's, R4's, an R6, and now R7's and find them very
substantial. The R8 doesn't count yet as it's still a baby. Perhaps it's
that this list is made-up of mostly M users so that's why M problems seem
to dominate. But I know there are R users out there. Anyone have any
repeating problems??? Or any problems at all???
