As I understand it, from the note supplied with my new M6TTL, you can add
the optional warranty anytime within the original warranty period. I plan
on adding the extra in the next few weeks.

Please respond to

Sorry, Kit, could you repeat that please? :-)
Is it possible to buy the extended warranty after purchasing a camera?
For example, I have had my M7 for many months now, in fact it was
purchased as a demo - can I still get the additional 2 years coverage,
or is that at time of sale only? Or, for 'new' cameras only?
Thanks,
