This note does not invent new facts. It restates the named-distributor allegation already published on this archive’s Schmidt landing, the 16 September 2019 journal capture, and open question Q3.
The complainant’s 2019 letters (mirrored in named threads on this site) state that Schmidt Marketing (Hong Kong) Ltd, as regional distributor, publicly told consumers that the CCD for M-System digital cameras carried a lifetime / high-quality assurance, and that hundreds of owners across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and mainland China received that notice. HQ replies on the record instead emphasise authorised-dealer rules and stamp or return receipts as not acknowledgeable.
The Chinese-language thread titled 徠卡香港虛假宣傳, the Brand reply that quotes the Schmidt paragraph, and the Coletta thread remain the primary mail stills. A standalone Schmidt flyer or poster is still described on the Schmidt page as the highest-priority missing physical exhibit — alleged gap, not a proven forgery claim.
Open Q3 asks how a regional lifetime message sits beside HQ’s later fee window, €1303 step, and “cannot replace” stop, without a written HQ clarification of the distributor relationship. Allegations and unanswered questions only — not a court finding.
