stevem7 Posted April 6, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted April 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Arg! Was doing a model shoot today and dropped my 35 cron ASPH (which is 1 month old) on my concrete floor. Bent the aperture ring and now its stuck at F2. Â So, will leica cover this under warranty? If so, do I just send it in and wait for it to return? Â Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newyorkone Posted April 6, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted April 6, 2007 Should be covered by the passport warranty. Isn't it great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted April 6, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted April 6, 2007 Did the model stick around after she heard you scream the expletive deletives? Truthfully, I'm sorry to hear about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen.s1 Posted April 7, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted April 7, 2007 I understand that lens does very well at f/2... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_l Posted April 7, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted April 7, 2007 but don't expect to have it back anytime soon.....I sent my (similarly dropped) 21mm asph in to NJ 2 months ago, they got it to Solms a few weeks ago, no idea when they will get to it....

stevem7 Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share #6  Posted April 7, 2007 GREAT! Before the m8 my M7 had an issue and it was a 2 week turnaround. Does this lens have to go to Germany to be fixed or can NJ do the repair. 2 months? That is not good at all! I use this lens almost daily. BUT it was my fault!  BTW, I played it cool w/ the model but inside I was NOT happy. BTW, I posted pics of her (even some with the broken 35) in the people phoro forum. They are nudes.

steve_l Posted April 7, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted April 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Impact damage to the mechanism has to go to Solms. Â first they will send you a letter asking permission to send it to Solms, then after you call them they will put it in the next regular shipment, then when Solms gets it they will send you an estimate and wait for permission to repair. I don't know what happens after that, I haven't received the estimate yet. (you can check the Solms repair status on the online system, mine says "estimate sent") Â Even if you send the lens with a letter authorizing all of that up front - they won't deviate from their process.

leicabug Posted April 8, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted April 8, 2007 If the lens is under passport warranty, ask Leica to restore it to like new condition. Leica will replace the necessary parts so that the lens would look like new. This is the the best feature of the passport warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertnl Posted April 8, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted April 8, 2007 Steve, Â I'd recommend you to call the CS @ Leica Solms and ask if you can ship the lens directly to them: Leica Camera AG - Service - Headquarters Germany. This may accelerate the process for you. If you're a pro, preferably ask for ms. Frankl. They're very nice, just a little bit busy right now because a lot of folks want 6-bit upgrades for their lenses. Â Best regards, Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
