1) initially the camera gave me a fault upon turning it on and
attempting the first exposure. I could go through the voodoo of
turning it on and off a few times and get it working. It would then
work fairly consistently for the duration of a shoot period; anywhere
from 20 minutes to a few hours.
2) then, the weekend before I sent it in, on assignment - it gave me
a fault every time I attempted to make an exposure - I could go
through the voodoo ritual and get a shot off - only to have the next
exposure fault again - repeat voodoo - get shot - repeat - ad
nauseum. Obviously a totally dysfunctional manner of shooting.
BTW - do you have a direct line (extension #) for anyone in repair?
I've only had one phone call from a Sarah Mayville. She responded to
an e-mail before I sent it in. However, has not responded to any e-
mail since. And I can't seem to get beyond the "if this then that"
menu on the phone.
I also received a response to an e-mail from Solms. They said they
had a loaner for me - but reneged when I told them I sent mine to New
Jersey. They said, "we asked Leica USA / Allendale to help You."
So, at this moment, I don't even know if they received the camera. ;~(
