jrc Posted November 13, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) All right, this will seem ridiculous to some people, but I was talking to a dealer today who said that he'd been told that he would be getting a few returns because of the problems. I asked if this would be an opportunity to buy, and he said yes... JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Hi jrc, Take a look here Opportunities to buy M8s. . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rob_x2004 Posted November 14, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2006 I suggest you go out and shoot directly into some strong lights. Dont be bashfull try all kinds. I suggest you head out with a black velvet cloth and shoot some weddings with the thing draped around the bride. Maybe your daughters wedding a one off affair? I suggest you forward your phone number to me so that I can reach you in the depths of your despair and buy it from you cheap. Please people, nothing positive in this thread...I want two.

You could never claim you had been disappointed in it's performance and relying on Leica fixing it would be an act of faith. I'd expect it to be different when bought new, or before the IQ quality issues arose. Not suggesting that Leica will not solve the problems, as I trust they will, but the used market has grey areas I don't want to tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how much these will cost? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how much these will cost? We all would, IF the price is right. What price is right for you ? $4,850, or $2,500 ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivek Iyer Posted November 14, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 14, 2006 $2,500 is OK for me because of the microlens array and the higher mp. I don't mind scratched/beat up bodies. I don't even mind scratches on the sensor cover (the infamous IR cut filter) by some digital newbie. I don't think there are THAT insane Leica users who would plunk $4,850 for an used M8. May be there are! Who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
