One am last night my Windows install died on my main life support system, I mean computer. Charming. A complete rebuild ahead. I've ordered my 1.4 50 asph (minty). I am trading away my Summicron and my M3 (Sob!) To help pay for it. I'll keep you posted. Camera Exchange didn't want to know about my Mamiya 645 I was looking to sell. Best of luck getting the M8 up and running.

It is one of the first in Australia. Amusingly, I already have a gripe. It isn't even charged yet. I'm irritated because it won't be charged until I get it home - because the slip-on adaptor to make the battery charger fit an Australian plug/socket is missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the others are there, but the relevant one is absent. At home I have an adaptor so I can use one of the other sockets so I'll charge it tonight. I'm admittedly a detail-oriented person, but it's just this kind of thing that really infuriates me. I've had a lot of problems with my M7 (electronics, frame counter, seizing wind-on, several other things) and I'm starting to think Leica and me just have some weird can't-live-with-you, can't-live-without-you relationship. All I can imagine is that someone at the distributor looked at the camera when it arrived and left the Australian adaptor for the charger out when they put everything back in. It seems too coincidental that the missing adaptor is the one that I need to be anything else. I hope the camera is worth it.
