BenMathes Posted April 26 Share #1 Posted April 26 Advertisement (gone after registration) so I tripped on a water bottle at my grandson’s fishing tournament and landed full force on my camera and lens- I’m 6’ 220… the 50 summi is just a bit stiff when I focus, but works fine the M6 body just shook it off and this from a camera over 35 years old! so many years (40+) doing documentary work in 27 countries- mainly with R and M series ( a few errant years with overweight great Canon gear…) I’ve never crashed any camera like this one and it’s just fine! im only 72, but think these M6’s just may outlast me! thank you Leica!!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFW2-SCUSA Posted April 27 Share #2 Posted April 27 This harrowing story raises three questions: How did you fair after the fall 2. Did your grandson win the fishing tournament 3: What was the condition of the water bottle? Leica's a wonderfully strong camera which seems to be able to take quite a tumble! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted April 27 Share #3 Posted April 27 A nice story. Leica’s were never made to be babied, that is why they are over-engineered in the first place. It’s only the more recent ‘luxury’ connotations that have taken people down the rabbit hole of protection and paranoia. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
