Default Hi from Brunei new M8.2 owner

Gary here Australian working & living in Brunei.
Just receive my new M8.2 today from Germany it took 1 week UPS to get here.
I felt like a kid at the candy store window waiting for UPS guy to arrive.
Then opened put battery on charge, opened manual all in German (dam) then down loaded english version from Leica site. Then had to wait 5 hours to get home to put 28/2 on to fully test camera know a very happy M8.2 owner.
So expect some quires in the coming weeks.

1st query dose it seem the prices for M8.2 are steadily climbing on eBay now that its been discontinued???

Congratulations Gary - you will have great fun with the M8.2.
