Leica NJ has had my 35 Summilux for 7 weeks, and all it needed was to have its filter ring threads made round again so I could screw in the IR filter, except that the IR filter hasn't arrived either. I could probably have had a local camera repair place fix the threads for $25 while I stood there and waited, but because it was under Passport warranty I thought I ought to send it to Leica. Silly me. In the past 10 years I've sent about 5 things to Leica for repair or adjustment; nothing has *ever* come back quicker than 2 months. This is the dark side of the Passport warranty. Because it's there, you feel an obligation to use it, and when you use it, time stands still.
