Any "unfixed" early M8-s?

George, I got mine on Dec. 13, 2006. It works fine with the exception of the shutter problem that arose after a firmware update. Turning on requires the switch plus touching the shutter button. "Not Broke."

 

Takes very nice pix, too.

 

Regards,

Bought my M8 Nov 06 Ser# 3101xxx. Finally sent it to NJ on 10/3/07. I've not received it back yet. I really miss that little camera. Just can't seem to break out the D2X. I did dust off the F3 and put 28,50 and 105 in a bag . Tomorrow I'll get a battery and some Tri X and see if I can find some truth.

Was your dealer any more specific re the "gutting out"? I think Mark Norton had a picture or two of the fix somewhere in this forum and it seemed to involve some pretty tricky soldering but unless they're doing something different now, I wouldn't describe that as gutting. Not trying to start an argument, just asking a question...

Thanks

I got mine last November and have been hoping something would go wrong with it before the warranty lapses seeing that Leica has apparently isolated the cause of the sudden death thing. I got my wish last week when the the "pushing-the-shutter-to-turn-on-the-camera" problem cropped up. I'll continue to use it through the holidays and then send it in early January for its "total gutting."

I thought the same thing but apparently it is more than a simple soldering job. I just hope it takes pictures as well as it did before the fix.
