Hi all,

I can sympathise with Phill, here in SA they are also unavailable. I think at this stage there are only 3 in the whole country. Well, I've just had great news from Leica SA, my M8 was in Customs yesterday and should be with me either Friday or Monday :-)

So in general, I think that Leica has hit on a success with the M8, albeit with teething problems, and I believe that the future of the company looks real good. Just like the little store in Virginia, mentioned at the beginning of this thread, Leica have certainly reminded me of "The Little Engine That Could".

That is brilliant, personally I also like dealing with the smaller guys, where you get that personal attention. Here I must add that Leica SA has been fantastic, every step of the way they let me know how things are standing (there are only 3 M8's coming into the country). The main market in SA for Leica/Leitz (in terms of photography) is binoculars. There main lines of business down here are surveying equipment and medical equipment.
