Just >curious. BD Under US law, an item is warranted automatically under the UCC and various other legislation, though is is a pretty minimal warranty. As to Leica's own warranty, it is the law in many, if not most, states that no special registration can be required to enforce a warranty, and I would suspect that proof that you purchased the item new and that Leica refused to honor their warranty would be sufficient to allow judgement in a small-claims court as Austin proposed, though the limits on this might be rather low in some states. This would not apply to EU or other foreign law, of course.
