Waited a week, checked, and they were going to ship it THAT day Checked yesterday, it will ship that day Today, it is still at Leica and will ship today?? It is like the old joke? Free Beer.. Manana Today?s story is that I will get tracker number this afternoon?.. I made 4 calls today to reach someone.. the previous ?record? was 10 calls?. And you wonder why only (who cares if it is an exaggeration?.!) rich amateurs can afford Leica??????? Pros can not be bothered with the hassle?.. It is not a matter of not having a camera to shoot with ( the A7 and the MM can do the job) It is MY camera, and I want it back?.. As an amateur, I am entitled to absolutely NO special service?.. no rush, no nada. The camera was sent to Leica on July 8. In case you are going to calculate, that is 3 months. It has been sitting on the shelf at Leica, repaired, for at least a week, probably 2 weeks?. The problem was that the glass cover plate over the sensor fell off? loose?. On the 8th day of a 42 day vacation. Please. No comments on how you got your Leica back in 4 seconds, all fixed, from a basket case of screws nuts and bolts?.. My previous experience was an M6 sent on for repair, and when it got back, the body case was so badly bent that a film cassette would not fit? Are these guys really serious about getting market share? If you NEED to have your camera functional, maybe a Nikon or Canon really is a better choice?. Rant off.
