I understand why you would want it fixed if its a warranty type repair. However, that said, I think Leica has to think a little more about the customer base. When my Canon 16~35mm L zoom went down with a sticking zoom ring, I sent it off to Canon and exactly 9 days later the lens was back in my hands. The lens was under warranty and they truly went to bat to get it back into my hands in a speedy timely manner. I sent it to Canon Next Day Air. They fixed the problem perfectly and the lens is again making sharp images. I think other luggers suggestions of the person buying another Tri-Elmar, is not that far off the mark. Its a pain, but as Leica is a limited market, it just seems to take longer, when it really ought not to. As handy as a Tri-elmar would be I plan on sticking with my 35mm, 50mm and 90mm summicron trio as they work and I am not completely lens less should it go south on me. I wish the tri-elmar owner well in getting it fixed in a fairly speedy manner. I would suggest to use independent Leica repair stations (DAG, Sherry) for out of warranty lens work however. good luck gck - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
