[Leica] How to get an M8 for $3200... Now defective 21 Elmarit

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Gene,
Are there framelines for the 21 on the M8 or are you referring to another 
body?
Thanks,
Bob (who would love to have frame lines for the 21 on an M8!!)

Richard,

Well, I would probably go for a M8 in that price range.? ;-)? Now if only my 
new 21 Elmarit M Asph was as trouble free as my M8 has been...? The lens 
does not bring up the correct frame lines and therefore the lens detection 
does not work.? ;-(? If I manually select the correct frames, then the 
detection does work.? I talked to Dale Elwell at Leica NJ and he tells me 
they should be able to fix it before I leave on Aug 9 for Europe, but with 
the trouble people have had this past year or so with long repair times, I 
think I will just wait until I get back and then send it in.? I don't want 
to take the chance of it not being back by the time I leave.? I did write a 
letter that I sent in with the warranty card so they know it was defective 
out of the box.? Otherwise I really like the results so far.

Gene
