I'd say that's a problem with your dealer, assuming you did not buy directly
from Leica. Over here I would take the camera to the dealer and he has the
legal responsibility to sort things out because my sale contract is with
him, not with his suppliers. If he pisses people off he quickly gets a bad
I would use the 21mm. Depth of field is going to be more of an issue than
sharpness when doing a group photo like this, and the wider lens will thus
better serve you.
Another random thought - take along a 3x5 or 4x6 card with a rectangle cut-out
in 5x7 proportions: you can use that as a viewing

There's a thing called a "Warranty of Merchantability", which means that
