Did you hit send too early? Anyway, if I was religious, and going on this and other threads about current Leica service woes, I'd be on my knees thanking the Great Ethereal Whowhatever, that I DIDN'T buy the secondhand M9 that was advertised at least 18 months ago on an Irish list and took over 9 months to sell. It finally sold for 2,400 euro and I was sort of sorry at the time that I didn't go for it. Ironically, the Sony A7ii I bought together with five different lens adaptors hasn't been used much at all due to circumstances.
