mth Posted July 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2020 I have a damaged Leica R8, somewhere collecting dust. Years ago, I was photographing in very cold weather. I opened the camera back to put a new roll of film in the camera. The shutter didn’t like that at all. The curtains of the shutter twisted before my eyes. I asked Leica, how much the repair would cost: 800 €. At that time, one could buy a used R8 for 400 €, so no use to send it there. I decided to keep it to have spare parts for my R9 + DMR. Even that is now collecting dust, as are my R lenses. If you haven’t yet found a spare camera, contact me privately. Have a good Day. M Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
