[Leica] Possible M8 purchase - HELP!

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Hello Gerry, I've used an M8 for about 5 years: this is an excellent camera! I've done more than 25 000 actuations now without any problems. And the results are very good! If the price is OK - I'd say about € 1500 for the body ... then I'd go ahead!
