[Leica] R8/9+DMR vs. M8/8.2

Sounds like Tina, George and I need to get on the ball and find another DMR 
so we will have 2 also.  ;-)  Of course, Tina is just getting used to hers.

Cheers,
Gene

Only 2600 DMRs ever made. Doug has two, I've had three (one stolen so only 
two now). No moving parts in a DMR - only in the R body and there are plenty 
of cheap R8.& 9s out there. Problem with battery rebuilds sorted at least 
for the time being. Looks like some of us are set for the long run.
