[QUOTE="985, post: 290107"] The Problem with the Leica LRF1200 that I owned is as follows: 1) The laser diode (?) is mounted onto an adjustable plastic bridge that sits behind the lens. Once the unit is introduced to freezing temperatures, and it is allowed to get cold, that plastic bridge will react and twist or warp. Once this happens, the laser will Never work correctly again, if at all. 2) Leica does not repair these units any longer. They did offer me a new one at reduced price, however I was fearful that the problem would occur again. It is my understanding (and I could be wrong) that all of the civilian LRF's EXCEPT the Swarovsky are manufactured with similar design flaws. I am very happy with my Swarovsky and recommend it highly. The other LRF that I have a GREAT appreciation for is the Leica PLRF. It ranges out to 6K, and does a numerous amount of other tasks as well. The PLRF is pricey for most, with a retail cost above in the thousands... [/QUOTE]
