Leica USA is listening.  It's a long story but about 5-6 months ago, I
posted about my M4-P shutter/light leak problem on the LUG.  As some of you
recall the shutter had been serviced by Leica USA and was well out of the
warranty period when I discovered it really had not been fixed.  The next
day, I received a very kind e-mail from Leica USA offering to take care of
the problem.  This they did including sending it to Solms and loaning a M6
to get me by on a few assignments (it was gone 4+ months).  I have had it
back a little while now and and wanted to report to the LUG that they
really took care of me and the camera is fine in fact it feels like a new
one.  I'm very grateful to them as I was out only a nominal shipping charge.


Thanks
Mark
