a dispensable update, just for fun. Jaap, I'm really sorry but I considered your camera as having suffered one serious failure. :)

Not at all, rightly so.

Considering RF recalibration a separate category, here comes a new update.

Hi Andreas,

 

Have you removed the problems which were probably due to the SD cards, and remembered to include the second cameras and outcome (or presumed outcome if no complaint) where the original was replaced?

 

Can you also put the actual numbers of cameras under each column?

 

 

I won't have time to update the numbers myself off the spreadsheet I'm keeping until the weekend. We really need many more contributions

 

Regards,

Mark

+ (13 months)

 

1. shutter release button had an instable firing, sometimes responding on a high position, sometimes lower.

2. re-adjustment of all my lenses with M9 because of back/frontfocus of 90cron asph and 50lux

Back within 5 days thanks to a reliable dealer, came back quite dusty btw, but gone with one Rocket-blow

(Didn't report this on this forum thus far because I hate this as an impact on my well-being and because I trust my dealer, period)

Yes indeed, I removed all problems related to SD cards but obviously left in the stats those related to broken SD slots. I did include second (and third) cams. In a few cases the first cam was returned to Leica and the replacement was flawless (or presumably so). Both of them were considered in the stats. Unfortunately as you can see, there are very few data concerning the time it took to repair the cameras and therefore it is impossible to make statements concerning reliability.

Possibly there still are some errors in my numbers and I'll check the data once more ASAP. Next time I'll include actual numbers in the columns.

 

Thanks for feedback,

Andreas

Made a few corrections. Still not perfect anyway :)

since august 2010. No problems. One time something funny. Couldn't see the photos at the screen, but it passed when I took out the battery and placed it back again.

my m9 came with

 

bad paint job on the shutter dials

 

slight rangefinder alignment problem (vertically)

 

got both of them fixed locally because years ago my tri-elmar came back from germany without getting fixed and i was actually charged .
