[Leica] Upgrade or M8.2 now S mode

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

What I've noticed with the M8 is that there is definitely a shutter "kick". 
The camera moves when the shutter fires. I don't like it.
I"ll be doing the shutter upgrade, at least, when my warranty is close to 
expiration (March-ish).
Noticed the?price for the M8.2 was about $6,600 ( 
http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2008/10/22/leica-announces-prices-for-s2-and-m8-2/?).
I'll be going the upgrade route: "S"mode, vulcanite, and controllable recock 
don't matter much to me...
Best,
Bob

What people notice when you're taking pictures is the automatic diaphragm
opening and closing
not so much the noise.

As there is no automatic diaphragm on an M the camera appears to most people
to be not operating.
Noting going on.
Flat lining.

You're just pretending to take pictures.
