simpledayz Posted January 6, 2021 Share #1  Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I dropped my Leica T today. Not fun, but the good thing is it's got a few scratches, and everything works fine - except the Mount has partially separated from the body.  I've enclosed an image of the issue. Has anyone experienced this? I'm in canada so I'm having trouble finding a repair shop. Sanj  Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted January 6, 2021 Share #2 Â Posted January 6, 2021 Welcome to the forum. This is not a matter for a third-party repair shop, you must send it to Leica customer service. However, and I hope I am wrong, this looks like an economic writeoff to me. https://en.leica-camera.com/Service-Support/Repair-Maintenance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted January 6, 2021 Share #3  Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Yeah, the last couple of T’s I’ve found for sale were $450 for entire in-the-box cameras almost like-new. The repair for that is probably well north of 2-3x that number at least. it’s almost certainly fixable. Whether worth it or not is the question.

jaapv Posted January 6, 2021 Share #8 Â Posted January 6, 2021 That the lens mount has separated from the body? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted January 6, 2021 Share #9 Â Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) If it were mine, I'd send it off to be converted to IR and have them screw the mount back while it's in bits. Failing that some very strong metal glue would be fun too. Either way, you have to buy another camera. Edited January 7, 2021 by Marac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpledayz Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share #10  Posted January 6, 2021 Yes it’s the front mount separated 60%.  I have ordered some super glu foe metal, and a snap case. If they fails, where do I get the IR conversion?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they fails, where do I get the IR conversion?  I'm in the UK so I would send it to Advanced Camera Services in Norfolk, I guess you could do that, I'm sure there must be one in Canada. I would do it the other way around though, if you have no other choice then the liquid metal comes out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpledayz Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share #13  Posted January 7, 2021 The screws that have been stripped are from the inside    Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
