  This is my history:
  I''m a Leica M superfan but I own also a Leicaflex SL with
  28/2.8 50/2 90/2,8 and I'm happy with them.
  I've recently bought a new R8 with a 80/200 f4 ROM because
 I +ACI-needed+ACI-
  a Zoom
  lens for traveling and I decided to make the great step
  to the R8. (with the deep peace of my bank account)
 My +ACI-old+ACI- Metz 45cl-4 didn't work with SCA
  3501in TTL flash and I had to buy also a Metz 40-MZ3 too.
  Well, at the first shots the R8 in shutter priority mode
  didn't work, and the TTL flash as well.
  Ok, I went back to the dealer and he replaced me the body
  and the lens at once
  After a few days the new R8 (with a serial number 20,000
 units earlier
  than the first one)
  with lens arrived  and I was very excited
  to start again to use it. I opened the box, put the lens on
  and..... My God it didn't work again, the shutter priority
 and
  the TTL flash didn't work +ACEAIQ-
  Moreover, the display in the finder  was not
  in the marvellous soft green colour, but it was of a bad
  yellow-green (acid green to be precise) and the diods were
 so badly
  illuminated that, when one of them was on, the sorrounding
 ones were
  slightly displayed, creating a very distracting efffect.
  The R8, my new angel, crashed and burned.
  Ok now, both the dealer and the Italian importer said me
 that they
  would have replaced
 body and lens again, but now I don't trust the
  R8 system anymore and I'm very very disappointed.
   I'm a LEICA supporter but I don't want the electronic
  problems let my angel fall down and crash.This damn, 5,000
 USD camera
  (including lens and flash) collected a double fail and I've
 received a
  double uppercut.
 What have I to do ?
  What would you, guys, think in my clothes?
