'This is where you have to talk to your Leica dealer. If you are still within their return policy limit, return it to the dealer for a refund. For those that do return, I hope the dealer puts you at the head of the list for the next batch of M8 that come in."

Yes, but the dealer's return policy is usually stated in relation to when a camera was delivered, as in defective items must be returned within two weeks of purchase date," but this situation relates to a LATENT defect and somewhat ambiguous defect that we were not sure existed in all of our cameras and it wasn't until Leica acknowledged the defect that we all knew that it existed, for sure. Moreover, we won't not know officially until tomorrow whether we have to return the camera or whether a firmware download will fix it (unlikely, I know, but no final word has been received as yet). In this case the decision to return it to the dealer is very much a function of whether the problem can be addressed without the camera having to go back to Solms.
