This service offer does not include major components,
rangefinder, CCD, main board and monitor. This offer is only valid in North
America from now through September 15, 2012. Leica
reserves the right to discontinue the program at any
time.
Isn't 350 dollars a lot of money for just a tune up?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not your common, everyday tune up. All the work is performed to Leica's specifications and tolerances which are considerably tighter than with any other camera manufacturer. In comparison, I just paid $950 for a tune up on my car, and that isn't even a Leicar.
