For a short time the flash would not fire then started working again. I have also had four or five times that the first exposure in the auto mode was either way overexposed or way under exposed. These two things may have been caused by the screws. It is on its way to Leica.

On a Leica classical M, these lugs are rivets, and held by actually deforming the lugs like a rivet. On a classical Nikon F, they are held by set screws. On a Leica M, I've rarely seen them loose, although I have seen them loose. On an electronic camera like the M8, I shudder to think what is happening with three metal screws bouncing around. Eventually, wouldn't they touch something that they aren't supposed to, and fry the electronics? I would think a trip to NJ or Solms is in order." Neil A.
