And I admit, that I'm rather intolerant in that field: The same way as Solms doesn't let X% on each new gear for 'possible quality control errors' the same way I don't feel as 'Red Cross for ill camera companies'. In general, we just see the not so low number of complaints reported from LUG members - we even don't know the actual cyphers outside the LUG universe. And, as said before, I hear every now and then from official Leica dealers, that - at least in my area - Solm's service became worse and careless thru the last years. The critic or implication of critics, that the number of complaints might be small compared to the actual number of produced and sold Leica gear, has no substance: There is no general accepted rule, why broken cameras or lenses are rather sold to LUG members than to non-members. The only difference is, that we speak about. Let's just imagine, that 100 of the 200+ LUG members (instead of the 36 which had answered to Ferdinand) had bought an M6, and that still those only those 9 or 16 were faulty ... In my mind, that percentage concentrated on the years past 1995 is large, far too large. <<< Someone had an argument that you shouldn't expect any better quality from BMW's than from VW's ... >>> ... or the argument "all have it ... ", which was also mentioned - You wouldn't accept caries for yourself just because all others have it also, would you ?
