jaapv Posted January 6, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just picked up my second body. The number difference is about 2500. The first body from November 17th. It seems about 1500 M8's were churned out since the resuming of the deliveries. Not bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Hi jaapv, Take a look here M8 sales are not doing too badly. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest umb Posted January 6, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 6, 2007 I just picked up my second body. The number difference is about 2500. The first body from November 17th. It seems about 1500 M8's were churned out since the resuming of the deliveries. Not bad. Â Its wrong to assume that every number has actually been assigned to a camera produced. Maybe LEICA started a new number range for those bodies that did not have to go back to Solms for the hardware fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artichoke Posted January 6, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted January 6, 2007 I just picked up my second body. The number difference is about 2500. The first body from November 17th. It seems about 1500 M8's were churned out since the resuming of the deliveries. Not bad. I don't see any new ones being sent here B&H has listed the M8 on "back order" for weeks & they are major Leica sponsors I suspect the factory has been so busy retro fitting early M8s (and maybe chipping lenses) that they have not been turning out new cameras of course the situation may be different in Europe, but in the US there have been very few, if any, M8s for sale maybe the weakened dollar has something to do with this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnelson Posted January 6, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted January 6, 2007 I got a silver M8 from B&H last week. In fact it was delivered last Friday. Someone on this board mentioned they showed in stock at B&H, I ordered immediately and later that morning they showed out of stock again. Â I believe they are trickling in a few at a time.

osera Posted January 6, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted January 6, 2007 I don't think the numbering system is quite that orderly. My camera is from the first batch and it has 31026xx. Seems like they're all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamriman Posted January 6, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted January 6, 2007 Mine is from the first batch as well. I suspect it will have higher resale value because of the IR defect. Its unique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrycioni Posted January 6, 2007 Share #11  Posted January 6, 2007 Mine is from the first batch as well. I suspect it will have higher resale value because of the IR defect. Its unique.  All batches of the M8 have and will have (on going) the IR "defect". So your M8 is not so unique after all. The back to Solms fix is for banding, green blobs, etc. not the IR "defect".
