Without going into the gory details, I'll just say that I dropped my M6TTL on the rewind crank, which was damaged. I returned it to Leica, expecting to pay at least something for the repair. Two weeks later, the camera was returned to me as new. No charge; all covered under the passport warranty. When I bought the M6TTL last year with 50mm Summicron, I paid 10% off list (Leica day) and in addition collected $300 in rebates for the camera and lens. For the quality of the product, I don't think the price is excessive. Also, while in Australia last year, I noted that Leicas there cost several hundred dollars more than in the US. So, I also hope Leica USA makes a profit so they can remain in business. And, at the same time, I thank them for being more than reasonable with customers. Brian
