[Leica] Cameras Real Pros Use

[red735i at verizon.net (Frank Filippone)]

Did the Leica Rep make an offer to supply a backup when yours was in the
shop?

After I sold my M9, I ran into the Leica rep at Webb Cam in Philly and he
asked me how my camera was holding up (he had hand delivered it to Leica NJ
for its first repair.) I told him I sold it and all my Leica gear save for
my M4 and DR summicron due to the reliability issues and down time I was
left without a camera. I was asked what it would take to have me keep an M9
and I said a "free M9 to use as a spare then mine is out at the factory."
Then John at the camera shop joined the discussion and told him about my
multiple issues with both my M cameras. I said I was perfectly happy with my
M4 and my "new" Nikon SP though.
