Sort of like paying a very high priced surgeon to cut off your healthy leg because people tell you that broken ankles are really painful and you just KNOW you're bound to trip over eventually now that you can run four minute miles;-) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can. -----Original Message----- To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Was Leica's Advertising Budget - Now personal M8experience See, that was the deal-breaker for me - the possibility of catastrophic failure of the M8. That is why I sold my M8. Not because I needed the money, and I hated the depreciation. But because despite the camera worked flawlessly for me for when I had it, I couldn't stand the thought that one day it would fail, and I would not be able to fix it. I have shelves of Leicas, Nikons, Rollei's, Hasselblads, etc. and I know and accept that they all depreciate, but I know, if I pick one up and load film in it, it will work. And if it doesn't, I pretty much know how to fix it (well, except for me 203FE). ...Vick
