[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Nathan Wong, a staple of the CIS photoforum, had this to say on USENET today: " I've heard of a lot of brand new Leica M6's having quite a few problems over on CompuServe. Of course they were resolved by Leica, but they were there when the owner opened his box. I know you can make the statement that even cars have problems when new, but I've never had a camera break down when bought new (used is another animal altogether!). The problems ranged from a frame counter that didn't work, even after numerous repairs, to the rangefinder being off! If that's handmade quality for you...forget it! I'll take my mass produced Nikon anyday." Apparantly the recent quality control problems are being experienced and discussed outside of this list and it's interesting that the problems reported seem identical across boards. Danny Gonzalez
