Subject: [Leica] R8 generations/revisions

Hi, all.  I am now collecting info about R8 genereations and revisions.  I
heard that R8s have been made in the following four generations.

1st: SN 2285000-2422000
2ns: SN 2427001-2435800
3rd: SN 2464101-2477300
4th: SN higher

The current generation has electronic boards much more resistant to static
damage.  They are said to be trouble-free unless you open the top covers.

Is there any statistics that shows the current generation has a much reduced
rate of troubles?

Any info about other revisions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Mikiro
