Passport warranty

[pass]

I got my M8 today but there was no passport warranty card in the box, only a 2-year limited warranty registration form. I remember the M7 came with a passport warranty card.

Any idea how to get the passport warranty or does it come with one?

No passport warranty with the M8. Better hope they get the sensor right in the next two years.

No passport warranty for M8 in USA.

That speaks volumes.

I talked to a Leica sales representative today at a Leica M8 demo and he said it should come with passport warranty.

No passport warranty for M8 in USA.

No passport warranty in the U.S. - A regular 2-year warranty for defects, but nothing for droppage, drowning or other mishaps.

I'm not sure what that "speaks volumes" about - except that the camera is not intended for klutzes.

My reps said one obvious reason is that some folks are sure to ignore the warnings in the manual about not collapsing collapsible lenses into the shutter and sensor.

And in Europe? Cos my M8 bought in Germany sure didn't come with a passport warranty... just the 2yr one.
