Hello fellow Leica shooters, I am new in this forum. I got a gift of a Leica M7 in December 2017 which was faulty from the day 1 that I've bought it. The film was jamming at certain point and they blamed me for incorrectly inserting film (which later proven not true). After dragging me through this process I was given a replacement copy in August 2017. Developing films in December, I noticed light leaks in every frame of the film and I then noticed a hole in the shutter curtain. I have submitted the Leica for repair along with my warranty card, but they they have sent me an email sending me an invoice in the height of 1000 euros or having a choice to have it sent back unrepaired. Because you have more experience dealing with the Leica, I would like to ask for a couple of questions. a) Has anybody dealt with this problem before while having warranty? Did they ever solve this problem as a part of warranty? The hole is just one and really minor, do you think like painting over it with the liquid PVC (as suggested in other thread) would be a safe option? c) Are there any people in Europe who are able to repair Leica's for less than the Wetzlar? At this point I am sick of Leica, it is just not worth it. I wanted to shoot film on a good camera but so far after all those troubles with the first and second Leica, I have only managed to do like 5 rolls of film so far. I am asking you for advice on what to do. My preferred option would be to just like paint over with the special glue and let it properly dry, because at the moment I don't have spare 1000 euros to have it repaired. Thank you, people
