jaapv Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share #122 Posted August 21, 2013 I think being a regular customer is more relevant Having said that, CS tries as hard for firsttimers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixalis Posted August 21, 2013 Share #123 Posted August 21, 2013 Sorry to hear this and the main thing is that you are not too damaged. This is my nightmare every time I walk the streets. I've tripped and fallen flat on my face before, fortunately not when carrying a camera. I don't generally like cases but I am seriously considering a half-case instead of the ordered-but-still-invisible grip. It will be interesting to see how much of this damage, if any, is covered by Leica Passport. The small print says functional repair, not cosmetic. Keep us posted on the results, please.

StephenPatterson Posted August 26, 2013 Share #127 Posted August 26, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the photos Jaap, it's interesting to look for clues as to what the new "water resistant" techniques are that Leica is using. At first glance it doesn't appear the EVF connector has any moisture barrier, but of course it's hard to say just from one photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 26, 2013 Share #128 Posted August 26, 2013 And here we have the final shot on the subject Yup ! Nice job.... but I confess it is not so clear to me how did you arrange the above picture.. having ONE single M at home... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one M and the broken parts that Leica returned. And my old warhorse, the Digilux3 took them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted August 26, 2013 Share #131 Posted August 26, 2013 glad all is on the mend ..... thanks for those photos. always interesting to me to see what is inside, quite a feat of electronic engineering imagine all that circuitry to replace the light/chemical reaction of a piece of film. progress. enjoy and what where you step ... i, for one, always enjoy reading your posts.

Etruscello Posted August 26, 2013 Share #132 Posted August 26, 2013 I wish you full physical and emotional recovery, and hope that Passport Warranty, if that's what you have, still does what it did for my M6 in the early 1990s. At that time a fall left it dented and with RF out-of-wack. It was repaired back to like-new by Leica NJ in a relatively short time. Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill W Posted August 26, 2013 Share #134 Posted August 26, 2013 You almost got an entire new camera except for the very front which I guess has the sensor. I guess it is easier the replace these modules than take out he electornics and replace them in new body parts. "Get back on that horse" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted August 26, 2013 Share #135 Posted August 26, 2013 Very interesting, that's saved me a job and about £5100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted August 26, 2013 Share #136 Posted August 26, 2013 Catching up on forum activity, having been away. A dramatic and painful event. However, providing your knee etc make a speedy recovery then it really is a case of 'all's well that ends well" ! Very interesting to see the camera's innards - thanks for the photos.

120 Posted August 26, 2013 Share #137 Posted August 26, 2013 what's wrong with the bottom plate and top? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share #138 Posted August 26, 2013 The bottom plate was bent out of true and the thumbwheel extension was dented, making the thumbwheel stiff. Plus various scratches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted August 26, 2013 Share #139 Posted August 26, 2013 What's interesting is that this shows tightening the strap lug screws was a much smaller job with the new camera compared to the old one which necessitated almost complete dismantling. The new camera appears to have an inner chassis which drops in from the top and contains the sensor, shutter, DSP, rangefinder. By removing the screws at the front, this appears to lift out giving easy access to the lug screws. In this respect, the M Typ 240 bears more than a passing resemblance to a film M.

pedaes Posted August 26, 2013 Share #140 Posted August 26, 2013 In a interview (with Thorsten I think) Stephen Daniel describes the new design/construction of sliding a front panel into a one piece body - and describes the M as "built like a tank"- so perhaps this design was also to make service easier.
