Repair - Would you like to get another camera in exchange for yours?

[FrankS]

It's been so long since I actually bought a NEW Leica that I can't imagine getting into that situation. When one of my Bessa L bodies gave up the ghost I gave it to s friend who wanted to try to get it working again. I don't know if he ever did, but I wasn't expecting it back. I suppose if I had an in-warranty M8 I'd take a replacement. Old cameras develop a personality. They become friends.

Old cameras have character, idiosyncrasies, quirks.

Modern, plastic, and digital cameras, not so much.

I'd be okay with replacing of the latter.

Once you grow accustomed to your camera, I find it hard to exchange it for anything else... They would either have to repair it or give me a brand "new" one. One that has never been out of the Box.

It'd be interesting if car repair shop did that.

Well, there is the service of a substitution car which you receive while your vehicle is in repair.
But, and by no means, I'd never accept a camera other than mine.
