Hi guys, After my recent trip to Hong Kong, I think it's time to put down my 50 pound Canon 1Ds-MarkIII and start enjoying travel photography again and possibly joining the Leica world with an M8 or M8.2. I have a question for everybody... is 16747 Actuations a little too many when considering the purchase of a used digi-M? The price seems fair right now but it definitely seems to be a more loved camera than other M8's on eBay. Would love to hear your thoughts on this...

Hi guys, After idly wondering for the past few years how to figure out the shutter count on my M Monochrome mk1, I finally did a little research. I found this excellent (i.e. very easy even for me to use) Leica app on the Leica Rumors site - https://leicarumors.com/2010/11/02/free-software-for-viewing-leica-m9-images-and-exif-data.aspx/ Dragged the most recent file I shot onto the app, and found that the shutter actuations on my camera number 36,950. Does anyone think that's a high number? I know that pro Nikon and Canon cameras are over-engineered, and their shutters are designed to exceed 250,000 but the M9/M Monochrom mk 1, I think, is not designed for that kind of high mileage. Leica were kind enough to replace my sensor last year (for free), and I just wonder how many more useful years are left on the shutter of my cherished camera. Anyway, if you've ever wondered about your shutter count, do get the app - it's incredibly simple to use. Best wishes all, Colin
