I don't think you've understood the passport system. If you have a lens with
a passport and that lens is run over by a tank, Leica will replace the lens
FOC - in fact I think it might be the case that provided you can send them
the piece of the lens that shows the serial number they will give you a
replacement.

Actually, I much prefer equipment that never requires service and has no
warranty to equipment that has a great warranty but requires service.  I buy
Leica because I expect it never to require service; if it _does_ require
service, then I've wasted my money, no matter how great the warranty.  It
_is_
possible to design and build gear that wears out but never breaks in normal
use,
and for Leica prices, that's exactly what I expect, nothing less.
