Blasko,

B&H doesn't have a queue for some items such as the M8. It's first come, first served.

guy_mancuso · 02/21/07, 07:25 PM

B&H NEVER takes pro-orders on any new product , when they recieve them on there loading dock than they post them for sale. They pre-order for themseleves to the manufacturers and what comes in gets placed in the queue. They have done this for years. I bought many camera's like this that just hit the market. When they get them than we do if your lucky to get in the queue

johnwolf · 02/21/07, 07:32 PM

Anyone seeing any silver M8s in stock? Black seems to be regularly available, but not silver.

John

sdai · 02/21/07, 07:49 PM

Ordered one this morning ... thanks for the headsup folks - now this is really an impulse purchase. Frequenting this board is like playing with a loaded handgun ... you know the trigger will be pulled sooner or later.

The silver ones are simply less popular these days ... maybe they should try making a gold plated one.

guy_mancuso · 02/21/07, 07:53 PM

Alright Simon , you just been shot. LOL

amedick · 02/21/07, 08:27 PM

I was told by dealer that production of M8's has been shifted heavily weighted to Black, due to popular demand. True, no idea, but seems to be much less silver than blacks now.

And AMAZON has M8 in stock as well (shipping from Adorama).

audidudi · 02/21/07, 09:34 PM

The availability of M8s from stock at more than one dealership suggests that supply has finally caught up with demand ... what happened to all those people on the waiting lists? How did the six-months to a year backlog get satisfied in less than four months? And what are the implications of this for Leica? Hmm...

I, for one, have had several opportunities to purchase another black M8 in the last 3 - 4 weeks. But until Leica IR filters are readily available, firmware upgrade is released and tested, and some kind of assurance that Leica has the "sudden death" issue under control, I'm in no particular hurry.

Perhaps there are more like me out there who aren't ready to jump in (again) just yet?

carstenw · 02/21/07, 10:03 PM

So my silver M8 will be more rare now! That is good. Not because I want to sell, but because then the throngs of people with M8s will all be using blacks, and my silver one will stand out

I actually love both. It is amazing what a different look and feel they have though, considering it is just a colour (and material). If I ever get more seriously involved to the point where I need a backup, I will have one of each.
