If you like a proven fault free unit with a track record. In this case the buyer seems to be very unhappy and has said goodbye to Leica despite having owned a film Leica and I guess lenses previously. That is a shame. There are thousands of happy M8 users out there who have no issues with their cameras at all. But perception is everything, especially if it's formed only by reading the complaints on internet forums.
