Yes, ouch :-( At least they would probably exchange the whole shutter
for a new one, so I get more life out of the unit - and prolonged
warranty if I bring it to service just before warranty expires. Though
for that it would have to exhibit itself just as the warranty expires,
and I don't want to risk that - it could just as well work fine UNTIL
warranty is already expired, and I would have one expensive piece of
junk!
That at least makes me use the Leica more for just snapshots, it has
much more life packed in its shutter than the SLR I guess ;-)
Good light!
