algrove Posted January 29, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted January 29, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Was having a Leica dealer look at a recently Leica NJ CLA'd 80/1.4 where I decided to have the lens hood replaced. Â He emailed me that he was sending it back to Leica in order to have them remove a dead bug he found rolling around in side the lens. Hope the bug did not lay any eggs before dying since I will have a family of bugs inside that lens in no time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmradman Posted January 29, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted January 29, 2014 That sounds deliberate. Â A while back my cooker extractor fan stopped working, previously it made strange noise but I tended to ignore it. After finally opening it up with the aim of replacing the motor I found dead hamster which I suspect was placed there by cheeky installer. There is no way hamster would get there on its own accord. Once dead hamster was removed problem just gone away. Â I am guessing that my extractor installer and Leica service person must be either reading same comics or could be related.

rramesh Posted January 30, 2014 Share #4 Â Posted January 30, 2014 That's a rare Leica bug and very valuable. Handle it with care lest you break a wing or leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted January 31, 2014 Share #9 Â Posted January 31, 2014 I recall a story where a GM assembly worker hung some keys on a string inside a fender. Â The Fender has to be removed to get to the keys risking some damage in the process. Â But a bug is pretty quiet so I would not worry! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. B Posted January 31, 2014 Share #10 Â Posted January 31, 2014 I wonder if the bug was a lightning bug? Mr. B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
