I did send Mr. Lee an email, when the DMR was sent back to NJ, asking if, under the circumstances, he might have a quiet, polite word with those in NJ service; suggesting they do what they can to expedite the repairs. I received no answer, though the "Estimate" showed an original plan of 2 to 3 weeks, which is faster than the 4 to 6 weeks they put on the sheet for the Digilux 2 they thought I'd also sent in. So... As you might know, they could not duplicate the problem with the DMR, and so asked that I send the camera, as well. They received that on April 27th. I would love to be a beta/market tester for the R10. I had, as many of you know, 2 weeks with the M8, a month or so before it was introduced. I'd like to be involved with the R10, earlier than that, so that I might be able pass on some of the collective wisdom of this group, to Leica. However, nothing has been promised. When all is said and done, I plan to write Mr. Lee, once more, outlining all that has happened and with some suggestions for the future. How he responds to that, will have a huge bearing on my own future with Leica. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I'll keep you posted.
