[Leica] Re: "less than efficient Rollei service?"

[goldman@math.umn.edu]

	The main point of my message was to find out what Alastair and
others thought of the Rollei 35 QZT.  Instead I seem to have touched a non
Leica nerve by have the nerve to quaestion Rollei service.
	In fact my friend sent in the camera twice for autofocus problems.
The second time they said they couldn't fix it and would replace it.
They sent the wrong
camera (a QZW).  After he returned it they sent the correct one.  I call
that "less than efficient". It's not the end of the world, but I think I
used an appropriate phrase. If others take umbrage, its their problem,
not mine.
	Meanwhile, Rollei may be the cat's meow for professional level MF,
but not for amateur 35.  I don't thing the dramatic price drop is due to
its success (as Bob Schell, the industry shill, claimed in shutterbug).
