Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA Whose local Leica dealer would have been more than happy to demonstrate the M8 -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jerry Lehrer Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 12:05 AM To: LUG Subject: [Leica] Leica M8 Tryout? Leicaphiles, Having a rare Saturday off, I went down to our (only) Leica dealer to see what was available and to check out the M8. I bought a beautiful CL and a TE 90 at good prices. I also asked to see the new M8. I offered to buy a memory card (is that the correct term?) so I could mount my lenses and try it out in the store. I would take the card home and check it out in my computer. The sales person said, in effect, ; "No way, the people who want to buy our M8s , want to buy them sealed" I had considered myself a good customer,having spent over $20,000 for Leica., Rollei and H'blad stuff at their two stores. They suggested that I go to a shop that is having "Leica Days" where I could bring my lenses and try out their demo M8. Should I continue to deal with them?
