WAS IT WORTH GOING TO FREELISTS ONLY TO LOSE PEOPLE LIKE ARAM?

Although I am not reading this list any more since I can't receive messages from FreeLists, I thought I'd finish the story that began about 2 months ago when my R8 jammed up. I had notified the Reflex forum about that and tried some of the fixes that were suggested. I think I then told everyone that Leica AG said the problem was caused by my tripod screw. Well, I just got it back. After I worked out that Leica AG would indeed repair it under the 5 year international warranty, it took 4 days for them to receive the camera from me, two weeks for them to diagnose and repair and the rest of the time I have been waiting for it to get from Solms to me. For some customs reason it took them about a week after the repairs were completed before it was packaged up and sent on its way. It took 20 days for the return trip via Luftpost. Now, that is one slow airplane. I am not sure if they flew it across the Atlantic and sent it surface mail across the US, or if it was tied up in customs/homeland security all this time. A mystery that the paperwork doesn't give any hints about.

At any rate, the camera looks great. Of course, it looked great when I sent it in. They gave it a good cleaning both in and out. And best of all it actually works again. Shutter fires, shutter cocks. WOW.

So, other than the bullet sweating delays, they appear to have done an outstanding job. The proof will be in the photos.
