Not mixed here!
Leica is a company that counts on it's reputation of reliability and solid quality construction, their cameras are supposed to be "investments", something that should have been brought through to digital cameras!
As a matter of interest I have a Marconi valve radio from 1924, so 90 years old ( 18 eons! ) , last time I tried it it still worked, I think it has had a couple of valves in it's lifetime (four pin valves with 2 volt filaments).
If there's much more of that from Leica their reputation will be down the toilet........ Pentax still repair K20s!
BTW. I'm soon to have thirteen eons, let's see....... one M8 eon = $6,000 approx. X 13 eons = bankruptcy! :lol:
