If I buy a gray market camera in the US, will the International Warranty be honored if I send the camera to Germany, or some other repair faciality out of the US? My R8 was bought from a small dealer in California, NOT listed as authorized. New, in a shrink wrapped box. The warranty card states "For this camera the Leica Camera AG provides an extended warranty of 5 years." It does have the exclusion as stated by others of commensing on the date of purchase from an an authorized photo dealer. I don't know who that dealer might be, but I am sure Leica knows. At some point it time it was in the hands of an authorized dealer not in the US. It doesn't say anything about the warranty not being transferrable, so if this camera is less than 5 years old, I would think the warranty is still valid if I choose to send it to Germany. > Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 07:36:46 -0800 > From: "Frank Filippone" <red735i@earthlink.net> > Subject: RE: [Leica] Doesn't ALL Leica gear originate from a "Leica Authorized Dealer"????? - Was International warranty... > Message-ID: <NEBBJDFBIKOBILIKPPBNIEBHILAA.red735i@earthlink.net> > References: > > Suetin: Parochial City State Companies do not allow for this kind of > thinking.
