[Leica] Was Leica's Advertising Budget - Now personal M8 experience

[len-001 at verizon.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Right on, George. When my 1st M8 developed a shutter problem I knew  
it would be in Leica's hands for awhile. I could not bear the thought  
of being without my beloved M8 so I bought a second one. This time a  
chrome one. It looks beautiful with my older chrome lenses.

For Geoff's benefit my original M8 developed the shutter problem on  
the 3588 shutter actuation. Yes, I know the exact photo it happened on.
