zeitz,
Leica is a wonderful SMALL company : )
At times email can overwhelm a small company especially with the influx of SPAM. If I had owned a Canon and their neck strap had failed I may have gotten an answer to my email - "NO WAY ARE WE GOING TO REPLACE YOUR CAMERA." I certainly would not**have been able to talk to the guy in charge. Honestly why don't you just call Leica unless what you really want is to complain about unanswered email.
PS. Since you mention Epson why don't you starting emailing about the R-D1. That should be fun.

Nikon, I've had good results with but then again, hardly ever needed to use warranty.
Canon, good luck getting them to fix things IN WARRANTY without giving you the runaround and having to send things in 2-3 times.

OK. Here is the story on unanswered e-mails. I contacted Leica Germany by e-mail asking about unanswered Leica USA e-mails. I was then contacted by e-mail by Leica USA. It seems their spam filter is not letting my e-mails through. I use sbcglobal.net, which is a huge providered in the US, so I don't understand why there would be a problem. Leica USA said they were checking it out.
Now the bad news. My 135/2.8 Elmarit for conversion has serial number 2,25x,xxx, which Rogliatti indicates to be 1968. Even though Leica's web site says they do these lenses back to 1963, in fact they only do them back to serial number 2,289,xxx. So it can't be encoded. Leica USA could offer no explaination for this discrepancy. I suspect 1963 is a typo.

I just bought mine today. The shutter button feels cheap.

Never had a problem getting an answer to my e-mails with Leica NJ. Why bother getting the 135 coded? It is really only needed if you have a 35 or wider. Personnaly I do not see a need to do it to my 35 either, as the results with the filter seem just perfect, with no cyan shift that I can find.
