This note adds no new facts. It points to the archive’s journal entry for 2025-05-19, which summarises a public ErickPHOTO blog post. As summarised there, the author puts a used M9 at roughly $2,500–3,500 and a third-party glass repair at about $1,000, against an upgrade offer costing several thousand. This is independent commentary, not this complainant’s demand, and it is recorded as an alleged, unverified third-party view.
Why it sits in this file: two years earlier, the February 2023 DCFever / Red Dot entry (source) recorded the CCD still not being repaired while owners were pointed to current models such as the M11, SL2-S and Q2 Monochrom at programme prices. Read together, the two items show the choice the archive keeps describing: after the alleged 2020 stop, an owner either buys a new camera or leaves Wetzlar for a third-party shop. That sits uneasily beside the 2014 goodwill programme, publicly described as free replacement regardless of age. See also the upsell note, the 2021 Kolari ~$999 entry and the third-party cover-glass note.
