That was two years ago- just realized thru talking with my wife that I had a rider on the camera and they pay for repairs. They called up and wanted to know if this wasn't just normal wear and tear. I was calm and indicated that the Leica is meant to last a lifetime and that this 3 year old camera was just starting to get warmed up. After they consulted some company guru they came thru for the $198 that it cost to repair. ernie - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Mark Cohen Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 1:22 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: Vs: [Leica] Digital vs Film When I first held my Leica M6 Classic (black) with the 35summicron thats virtually glued to that body, I was very emotional.. I nearly cried.. I had spent 15 years wishing I could afford one and I was finally granted that opportunity. 2 nights ago that very camera fell off the car seat onto the ground. Contacting the cement from 4 feet on the rewind lever. Once again I was nearly brought to tears. Its on its way to leica, not 4 months out of passport warranty. :( Luckily I have a M6TTL Chrome to back it up. Not as good and Not my favorite, but it will do. :) - -Mark On Tue, 30 Apr 2002, Brian Reid wrote: > > > I KNOW that you can't possibly be suggesting that the media used to capture > > images formed by light passing through a lens accounts for your M images > > being "more emotional." ;-) > > When I hold my Leica I feel more emotional than when I hold my Canon G1.
