The only thing that's missing is a radio beacon or GPS transponder for when you lose it in the snow while skiing with the other 274 Russian gas and oil billionaires at St Moritz :-) In comparison, the M8 Safari is priced at "only" 7500 euros with the same lens and the same strap - but it's an M8.2 and even has a matching Billingham bag, so I reckon you're getting more for your money ;-) Douglas Mark Rabiner wrote: > On the new GE Leica... > > > Leica M8 gets a $5,000 paint job > > Adorama, always my source for news, came out with this 4 hours ago says my > Google news feed: > http://www.adorama.com/alc/news/11597 > > > What I know is does it have Automatic defrosting? > > Is it ENERGY STAR qualified? > > > > > > > Mark William Rabiner > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > >
