No M8's in US, yet

My dealer just spoke with the rep, and the cameras for the US are being shipped on 11/3 -- to the US. They are all supposed to be shipped from NJ at the same time, and the ETA for the retailer is now about 2 weeks.

 

I'm going to turn off the engine in the car and go back to sitting by the phone.

I just received very confidential information that the first US M8 shipment can be fully tracked and traced ;)

 

I presume that the NSA has modded the M8 to have a wiretapped function that phones home to see what pictures we Leicanauts are taking?

Yesterday, Vistek in Toronto updated their arrival date to 15th November, and today I have a mail confirming I shall get one of those....rather makes up for wandering around Toronto in the rain at the weekend and failing either to spot Michael Reichmann and his M8, or ending up in one of his shots! (I didn't really go there from Nova Scotia just for that, but it would have been neat to bump into him trying it out.)

Nice, which dealers get them first?

 

According to my dealer, Leica overnites all the cameras at the same time. That means all those in line for a camera will get them the same day, if the dealer has enuf stock. My dealer has 3 people in line and expects to get 2 cameras.

 

I was thinking that Leica might be shipping 5-10,000 units on this pass. Then the gnomes will start making them again, right?

Situation in Europe is not much better, appart from this Pascal guy from who picked it up today apparantly (lucky bastard).

I phoned my dealer this afternoon and he is sure it will arrive in the second week of November. He will not be able to deal with all orders but mine will be there.

 

As for the USA I read that Jorge, the Rangefinderforum.com guy will receive his this week through Tony Rose.... I guess it's starting to move now
