He mentions personally signing a letter of apology to each M8 owner affected by problems. Let's all sincerely hope that this failure is an isolated incident from some extraordinary circumstance.

Baron Sent: Thursday, 24 May 2007 10:00 To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Report of M8 Base Failure This report on the LUF regarding failure of the base of an M8 is perhaps of some concern: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/25121-base-plate-failure.html or http://tinyurl.com/2m9kdx I am not a metallurgist nor do I play one on tv. I have no idea if this is a rare event or something to fret over. I looked at my own base and it looks fine (solid, it appears) but what do I know? <sigh> --Bob _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
