Newest high dollar nonsense lens, not via kickstarter, but straight from Leica - JJ_SO - 10-31-2017
Other manufacturers are envy on Leica because of that user base. Leica can sell everything (but they don't do everything which would be possible). If they come out with a new product, one doesn't need to hesitate because it could be a bad, short living one - these things are made to last very long and still can be passed forward to heirs instead into the trash collection.
Which makes sense for a camera with continuously flowing sensor, like film is. But I actually wonder why Leica didn't come up with some concept like Ricoh, to at least make a sensor change possible. Monochrome Leica? Monochrome back for a Phase One, yes, why not? But building a fully grown camera round a limited sensors is something only Leica can sell.

Corroding sensors, anyone?

Sensors are not made by Leica. So, in the eyes of a devoted Leica fan, Leica can't be blamed for a bad film... :lol: and what else a sensor is?
I'm kidding...

To be fair though: replaced at no cost, cameras was 6 years at that point, I think. And came back with another year of warranty afterwards.
Less luck on a friend's M8 (I think I mentioned it here already): rear display cracked, no longer available as a spare part. All they offered in that case was a discount on a purchase of a different camera.
