Because I'm tired of hearing people complain about the R8 and its various
components to us.  If there is a problem, he should take the camera and
motor back to his dealer who will send it to Leica.  Leica should fix it.
If he has a good dealer and needs a loaner, the dealer should give him one.
Or maybe there is a simple fix that the dealer can do.  I'm not sure what
telling us does -- except stir up more complaints.  And one might draw from
the complaints that the R8 motor drive simply never works -- which is not
true.

BTW, I have 2 R8s, one with winder, one with drive and they work fine.
