Is this where the duds are coming from? The Leica gear is very high quality gear but it is still possible to have somebody unfamiliar with its operation break it. Even the miss aligned rangefinder could have been caused by somebody dropping the camera. Not to speak ill of the larger dealers like in New York, but how many people handle the cameras and lenses in the show cases before they get to you? >> I doubt a dealer would try to pass off damaged goods on purpose. Maybe ask your dealer for an inspection of the lense/body prior to sending in the warranty cards? A dealer can return damaged goods to the distributor for credit/replacement. Al
