And that, not that we often discuss it, is definite worth several hundred on the purchase price... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Julian Thomas Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 2:25 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] bouncing leicas I had to return my M4 today to the shop to have the rf adjusted under guarantee. I'd just explained the problem and handed the camera over when the phone went. the guy put the camera down. In a spate of espresso induced panic, i tried to pick the camera up to check that there still was something wrong, the strap caught on something and I dropped the camera about 2 feet onto the table. The guy picked it up, checked the vf and the image was now well and truly buggered. It is still being repaired under guarantee - how's that for service! I felt like a real twit! julian
