D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Kevin Argue Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 7:32 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] cheaper equipment-- expensive repairs I recently had my M6 repaired and cleaned before the Canadian Leica distributor went bankrupt. The job was done perfect and the price a mere $400 Canadian. Seems correct for a Leica service. On the other hand I spoke to our local university photographer who shoots with a Nikon D1.. something, and he tells me he had a problem with a blue line through his digital images. After sending the camera to Nikon Canada the repair bill was a staggering $3000. That is about half the price of a new one. For us poor struggling freelancers that kind of bill is a killer. I think I will continue to shoot film!
