[Leica] How long has the M8 been out? Beyond warranty period?

Thanks Mark

Yes, I fear you may be right, but maybe a miracle will happen, eg.:
- the M9 won't be $5K, it'll be less because Solm's will finally 
discover how to reduce prices through advanced manufacturing and volume 
strategies
- I won't want one until a couple years after its introduction, and the 
prices will be lower
- I'll win a lottery.  Any lottery.
- my stocks will recover
