scott kirkpatrick Posted October 5, 2017 Share #341 Posted October 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine was logged into Wetzlar on 2 Oct and reported fixed on 5 Oct. Now it has to get back here, and unfortunately I am away next week, but this seems quick and simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Hi scott kirkpatrick, Take a look here M10 Stuck On ISO 400. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MulaboXL Posted October 6, 2017 Share #342 Posted October 6, 2017 I’m about to purchase the M10 to use with some old Leica lenses and asked the local Leica store person here in Singapore about the ISO dial issue. She said there was only one person who brought it back to repair. Was wondering if I should code the 2 old lenses that I have as it costs quite a bit to get it done.

lecycliste Posted October 6, 2017 Share #343 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) After freezing at ISO 200 six weeks after I bought it, my M10 came back from Leica USA last week. It was out for 18 days, including shipping time there and back from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Leica listed 2 hours of labor to fix (as they put it) the ASA/DIN adjustment defect, adjust rangefinder, and clean sensor, all under warranty. The dealer I bought it from got involved, and that may be partly why it was done relatively quickly.

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I would. It makes life much simpler! At least, perhaps get one coded, then you can default to the other focal length for non-coded lenses Edited October 6, 2017 by jonoslack 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I wouldn't. It is a trivial thing to select in the menu. I've got lots of old glass that isn't coded. Save the money for more glass... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verteidiger Posted October 6, 2017 Share #347 Posted October 6, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Either you have all of them coded or you do not need to have any of them coded (in my opinion) as you have to select the others from the menu all the same. I started to have uncoded lenses coded when they were at Leica's for other reasons anyway but stopped that again as it wasn't worthwhile. Espacially older lenses cannot be coded at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI There I agree with you in principle But actually, having just one uncoded lens is fine, as the camera remembers the focal length and applies it by default when you attach an uncoded lens. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verteidiger Posted October 6, 2017 Share #349 Posted October 6, 2017 Yeah, that is right of course. But make sure that you do not start to collect 'em all ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are 35 and 50 Summicrons. I think I’ll not code it but send them in for servicing and adjustments for the M10. The 35mm focus ring has gone extremely tight. They quoted me ballpark sgd$800 (usd580) per lens just for coding. That excludes whatever servicing they have to do for the focus ring cause both have to be sent to Germany. Trivia. For such a small county we have 4 Leica Boutiques and 1 dealer. Pretty crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 6, 2017 Share #351 Posted October 6, 2017 There are plenty of third-party repairers doing lens CLAs, adjustments and coding, with reasonable prices, fast turnaround, and excellent results. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJJon Posted October 7, 2017 Share #352 Posted October 7, 2017 $580 USD to code a lens! That's just stupid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my lens back in perfect shape in one week. Good techs are out there. Cost me $108 total. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdemeyer Posted October 7, 2017 Share #355 Posted October 7, 2017 Doesn’t sound right. In 2016 I had Leica rebuild a MATE V2 including 6-bit coding. Total was $532 including return shipping. Was done through Leica US but the work was done in Germany. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJJon Posted October 14, 2017 Share #357 Posted October 14, 2017 Update: M10 with bad ISO wheel sent to Leica by dealer on Fri, Sept 22, returned Fri, Oct 13. The dealer said that was the fastest turnaround they have seen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 16, 2017 Share #358 Posted October 16, 2017 I sent mine off Sept 24, received in Wetzlar Sept 27. In service section Oct. 2, repair completed Oct 5. Shipped back Oct 11, and it is presently out of customs and on a truck heading for my home in Jerusalem today, Oct 16. So the repair queueing time was three days, and the shipping time two weeks. The statement that came back listed no new "Necessary parts" but as "Necessary operations" included repair Din/ASA adjustment, Carry out software adjustment, clean sensor, adjust range finder, adjustment of all parts and cleaning and end control. When I get it today, I'll see if some low order digit of the firmware shows a new version. I took the precaution of saving settings on my card. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 16, 2017 Share #359 Posted October 16, 2017 It's back and it works fine. There is still a little vertical play in the ISO knob, but even less than before. I don't think that should be a diagnostic. So use your M10's freely, and over time the unlucky ones will be found out and fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
