andit Posted January 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, Is there anyone else out there patiently waiting for their M8? Was just informed by Leica South Africa today that they will only receive their next batch of M8's end of March - infact they are receiving only 3 of them and one is mine. This has now just slipped so far into the distance that there is nothing to even look forward to at the moment. You can't really blame Leica SA for this. There is such a small market here, I'd be surprised if there are more than 5 in the whole country! Well, I'll just sit here, read the forum and watch paint dry while patiently waiting... Andreas Mind you, I'll probably take my C-Lux 1 for a spin again some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wparsonsgisnet Posted January 29, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2007 Andreas, I felt like this for a long time -- as the deliveries stretched out while the early adopters were beta testing the first M8's. No advice for you, just sympathy. When it comes, it'll be a magic time. Are you getting your IR-cut filters ahead of time? Spare battery? Learning how to use C1? Downloading and saving all the helpful hints and profiles that are available here? It's worth preparing early for this camera! Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted January 29, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2007 I had the same problem last december and was going to call my dealer 3 times a week. I think it bothered him so much that he finally convinced Leica to send him a M8. So I was glad to receive it before holydays and my vacation trip.

dannirr Posted January 30, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 30, 2007 I'll be in South Africa with 2 M8's in a month. If you do not have yours yet, you can come try mine out in JHB if you like. Danin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
