[Leica] 50 Summilux-Asph warranty update

[bladman99 at yahoo.ca (Dan C)]

I think it is outrageous that they would have interupted the production of
a new stock item in order to produce a special order for collectors only
camera kit (The M3 anniversary titanium with matching 50mm asph lens).

I have absolutely no problem with Leica capitalizing on the interests of
collectors by making these special sets, but not at the expense of their
regular gear.

Not that Leica gives a rats a** if I have a problem or not!
