FAQ

Kurze Antworten for readers and search engines

Is this site saying a court found fraud?

No. It archives allegations and asks for written answers. Strong words in old emails are exhibits of what was sent, not findings of fact by a judge.

What are 1058152, 1105973 and 811072?

Wetzlar service/repair order numbers. 811072 is 2015. 1058152 is the 2019 CCD-era file. 1105973 is the 2020 linked successor.

Who is Schmidt Marketing (Hong Kong) Ltd?

The complainant alleges that this regional distributor publicly promised CCD-related lifetime coverage. HQ treated the purchase proof as not acknowledgeable and pointed at the seller. Naming is authorized by the complainant. A standalone flyer is still a gap if one exists.

Why publish bank PDFs?

The complainant authorized publication of Ping An credit-card statements to make fee/transaction facts checkable. They are in /evidence/bank/.

Why so many auto-replies?

Because they are evidence of the alleged communication pattern. They are not “content padding”; they are the record that a human point-by-point letter often did not come back.

Did Leica ever replace M9 sensors for free?

Yes, publicly, from late 2014, regardless of age, according to contemporaneous press. That programme was later limited and then ended.

Can the camera be repaired today?

Not by official CCD replacement, per 2020 public statements and Masney 2022. Third-party cover-glass replacement exists. Whether Leica will fund that on this file is one of the twelve questions.
