I once waited a year and a half on an order for a V35 oversize  
negative carrier. They eventually cancelled the order, turning the  
item into a repair part.  Oh yeah, the outcome was to almost tripled  
the cost of the  newly re-designated carrier, which was still  
unavailable.
Previously, I've waited 9 months to well over a year for simple fixes  
from them.
Mind you, if New Jersey can fix it, it's usually done within a  
tolerable time frame. However, when it goes to Solms, it becomes a  
twilight zone experience.
Tears from me about Leica, hardly. Any business deserves whatever  
outcome its behavior generates.
