M8 off to NJ

Well I'm sending my M8 off to NJ today for the brass spots on the sensor and to get the crack/repair near the locking lug looked at.

 

Hopefully they will just replace the camera with a new one. I will surely be PO'ed if they send my camera back to Solms and I'm without it for months.

 

I was even thinking of buying another body but really can't justify the expense. Guess it's back to the Nikon D200 and B&W film through my M3.

 

At least this give me a chance to try out all my new Leica lenses on the M3. Since getting the M8 every time I go out to do some shots I look down at both cameras, M8 & M3, and always grab the M8. The M3 has had a new roll of film in it for the last 2.5 months with only 4 shots taken.

I feel your pain, Ed. I have been parted from my M8 twice and it is not fun.

I carry my M3 with me, too. I usually take it out and take maybe 2 or 3 shots a day with it. The immediate feedback and ability to switch back and forth with iso and between black and white and color, makes the M8 addicting. However, I do like holding the old M3 in my hand and pressing the shutter. It amazes me that they got it so right 50 years ago.
