Personally I would be very frustrated in his position and very reluctant to spend more on the M8. I would maybe also be elevating my protest if the repair agency has said no to a warranty claim. Everyone's circumstance is different and their own of course. My understanding of that shutter problem was that the slower max speed ones ought to be better. The shutter unit is in any case a standard Copal unit that has been in many many camera for years including I think R cameras and the M9 too. I know nothing on any MTBF histories though. For what it's worth the excellent Fuji cameras are back ordered everywhere here as well... But you can pick up almost any M lens or a Monochrom or an M-E or an X anything or even a Dlux jeans edition right off a shelf. You would wait longer for an M though...but my wait is over ;-) On Jun 26, 2013 7:28 AM, "Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: > Geoff you seem to be suggesting that someone on the LUG go out and buy a > Leica camera.
