The rough focus ring on my Leica APO 62 (7 months old and hardly used)failed and just spins around when used. This is the second problem I have had with Leica scopes having lost coatings on my 77 Televid earlier in the year and receiving pretty poor service being without a scope for 3 months. I conntacted Leica UK and they have arranged for the scope to be picked up by UPS today and sent to Germany for repair. I await to see how quick it is returned but they have offered me a loan of a 65 if the scope is not fixed soon as |I am off to Bolivia in the New Year and use the 62 as a travel scope. It is of course a concern that quality equipment should fail like this but Leica's response has been pretty impressive so far! I will post the (hopefully satisfactory)outcome when I get one
