Hi,

Is leica warranty transferable if you purchase from owner?

[jdlaing]

Generally Leica cameras have a warranty from the date of first sale no matter how many owners. IE: the camera carries the warranty not the owner.

My experience is same - Leica has never asked me for a receipt or where I purchased the camera from when I needed service under warranty for my second hand cameras that still were within the original two year warranty.

How did you prove you were within the two year period??

They didn’t ask??

They didn't. I wasn't asked to provide any proof.

Best thing in my experience is to register the lens / camera with Leica and then check with customer support in Wetzlar what the warranty status of the item is.  They have a record of when the lens was first sold and are able to tell you how much warranty time is left.
