Actually Alastair, the fix for the "magenta" issue is the use of the IR
filter so our M8s are not going to be changed in that regard.  My problem is
going to be having to give it up for the 10 days (plus shipping) that it
will take to get the banding/blobbing/ghosting issue resolved.  In the two
weeks that I have had my M8, it has not been out of my possession for a
single day - it is addictive!   You know, if you average a roll of film per
day, the M8 is free at the end of a year.  :)

Now that there are about a 1000 M8's out there with the "magenta" IR tinge,
and Leica have offered to fix it, I see a great opportunity for some one to
keep the original unit: IT WILL BE VERY RARE AND COLLECTABLE
;-) A Magenta-M will be a must have in any Leica collection, so DON'T have
them fixed ;-)


Cheers
