Is Leica really only providing a 1 year warrranty on new product these days?
No. They have a 3 year no questions asked “Passport” warranty, then a lifetime limited warranty. Some demos come with the full warranty, Others come with a 10year limited warranty. I bought a pair of demo Noctivid binos from Doug that came with the full warranty. My understanding is that they are really upping their game in terms of customer service.
