That's like wanting to be able to sell the camera as new and yet use it. Not legal I'm sure. And I suppose Leica wouldn't have to honor the passport part. Just a warranty. Which would not have covered me for this repair. I guess they don't keep records of which cameras are officially imported for passport and which are for other countries. Otherwise they wouldn't have questioned mine. So I guess that would indicate you have to send it in. I didn't send the card in, Don Chatterton did, so that he could get the rebate. It was registered, just a wrong number. It happens. Though I could think of a few ways to Jazz up Leica's computer system so this kind of thing wouldn't happen again. I did a short bit as a part-time database designer. :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch There's too much blood in my caffeine system.
