eleskin Posted December 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) My exposure count is around 40,000, without any major problems with the camera since I bought it in April 2007. How about the rest of you on this forum? It would be interesting to see the exposure numbers and how the M8 has held up over the years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Hi eleskin, Take a look here How many exposures have you taken on your M8's?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

ola.fiske Posted December 29, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 29, 2009 Perhaps stupid question; :-) But how can I find out how many exposures I have been taken. Can I find out somewhere in the camera menu?? Best Ola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted December 29, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 29, 2009 But how can I find out how many exposures I have been taken. Can I find out somewhere in the camera menu? You can tell roughly the number of photos taken from the file number of the last picture taken with camera. If you want to know how many times the shutter has been fired (which will include test firings in the factory) then there's a thread on how to do it here. Pete.

mmk60 Posted December 30, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 30, 2009 Bought in May 2007 and have 11475 as of today. I recently found fine lines in the shots that I had taken at ISO640 back in 2008 and sent the camera to Leica USA for possible sensor replacement. Estimate = $1250 (out of warranty). I freaked out and asked them to send it back to me with no repair (I will shoot with films for higher ISOs). Apart from that, 'just' back focus + focus shift with pretty much all my lenses. Oh well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakewood Posted December 30, 2009 Share #12 Posted December 30, 2009 Around 21200 since April 2008. Apart from a new display (coffee ring) in August no issues on the M8 but back focus on the 1.4/50 asph (which was corrected in Solms foc). The little exercise to narrow down if back/front focus is due to the cam or the lens(es) makes the a very long 2 mm hex key and the viewfinder magnifier your best friends. Nevertheless, it is manageable and I never had any focusing issues since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayham Posted December 31, 2009 Share #13 Posted December 31, 2009 I don't know, because when I updated to the last firmware, the counter started from the beginning !!!! I bought it Feb. 2007, and it is working fine apart from the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

epand56 Posted December 31, 2009 Share #15 Posted December 31, 2009 Bought my brand new M8 Classic in march 2007. Upgraded the brightlines sometimes in early 2008 when the camera was at Solms to register the rangefinder (vertical misalligned since purchase). Performed 11000 actuations without a single problem. It is a real mule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you to every one on this forum. I read it every day. I learned so much with your comment. But My english is too bad to write on it. Have a nice 2010!

steamboat Posted January 3, 2010 Share #20 Posted January 3, 2010 17,783 photographs since November, 2008 on my M8.2. This camera has worked for me everyday since receiving it. Great piece of equipment. (Note: my first M8.2 was replaced due to it not reading lens info. Dealer immediately replaced it as the factory wanted the camera back to investigate the anomalous problem.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
