For Sale Black Leica R8 mint-/ex++ condition $1500.00 box/cap/new battery ect. Only signs of use are very slight marks on plastic thing around the viewfinder. Money order ships same day. Personal check must clear. Standard ground shipping on me. 10 day MBG. This camera just returned today from Leica NJ for warranty work. I will include the paper work from leica for reference. The camera was having some problems where it would jam up. Leica replaced the rear door which they said was defective. I bought this camera slightly over 1 year ago from Tamarkin as a demo unit. The camera came with a 1 year warranty. This expired the first of November. Leica says they have fixed all problems with this camera and I would assume that since they fixed them they should not reoccur. As I said I will include the paper work to verify the work done. I assume they have a standard repair guarantee. This camera has never been my primary body. I tend to use the R6 more due to the faster motor. The reason I am selling is that I am a superstitious SOB and this camera has been some bad luck to me. The electronic problem left me high and dry on an important shoot and I just don't trust the camera. It will probably work flawlessly and I am sure Leica will stand behind their work...I just don't like having doubts while working. Like I said I am superstitious. Used to always use the same credential all season shooting pro baseball when the paper had 4 creds, would even swap with other photogs to get the right number. Any way if interested e-mail off list. Thanks. Best regards, Harrison http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto preview my book: http://www.volmania.com mailto:hmcclary@earthlink.net
