I was in Philly last week and the grandkids and daughter came to keep the wife busy and company. I took the M-240 , so NOOOO she did not drop that one, and left her the D-Lux 3. They get to the aquarium in Boston and she does not have the wrist strap on. She fessed up right away but the the drop was right on the lens and now it won't retract, fully deploy, or take a picture.
I went on the Leica website yesterday and downloaded the repair form, found the original box, etc. This morning I was going to package it up and get to the post office when I remembered my last Leica repair experience. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ but is was the R8 and digital camera back , fortunately they still had parts then.
E BAY has many options for a replacement at a price that will be lower than the repair or even getting an estimate. I thought I would use the brain trust here on the Leica forum as to whether staying with the compact D-Lux Series? Panasonic? It needs to be a good carry around small unobtrusive camera.
Thanks
