After my camera failed last thursday from the 2.0 firmware update I took it to my dealer here in Montreal. He shipped it out to Leica NJ last friday. I just called them to see what the status was on the camera. I expected to here that it had to go to germany or that they hadn't looked at it yet. Instead I found out that ehy had replaced some boards, adjusted a bunch of stuff and it was on its way back to me. I think that is pretty good service. Camtec Photo here in Montreal was great as well expediteing the shipment across the border for me.

NJ service Good news

Awesome news Tim! The thing that worries me is the "they adjusted a bunch of stuff" comment. I have heard too many horror stories of cameras sent in for problem X that had perfect focus, then coming back with X fixed but being all out of whack on focus, then needing several trips back and forth to Leica to get to where they were before they went in. Please advise as soon as you get yours back, hopefully NJ has its act together again!
I have read other threads where something similar has happened. I think to change these boards they have to disassemble alot of the camera and so have to adjust everything after assembleing. I am leaving on a 1 week trip to northern Maine at the end of next week so hopefully I will be able to give it a good workout then.

Were you asking about a specific lens or several? I ask because way back when I got my older lenses coded by NJ, they were able to do certain ones very quickly and another took several weeks. As it turned out, they were waiting on coded lens flanges to be shipped in from Germany for certain lenses (90 AA in my case).That is great news! :thumbup: Unfortunately, I just e-mailed NJ about coding lenses. They said the turn around time was six weeks. Darn.Looks like coding lenses would be easy to do.
