eksund Posted May 1, 2019 Share #23 Posted May 1, 2019 I just bought a used M8 with less than 1600 actuations, I went in to the service menu, under the firmware and found that mine where dated 04 dec 2009. And the date can not be from the firmware since I updated it with 2.024 from 2014. The serial number is 3330xxx in silver. It would have been nice if Leica would publish the manufacturing years and serial number. The feeling now is that we are guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 1, 2019 Share #24 Posted May 1, 2019 Leica serial numbers are always issued in batches, thus not fully indicative for the manufacturing date. Yours belongs, judging by the number, to the last series, which was replaced by the M9 in September 2009, so it is probably one of the last M8 cameras built.
