Another M8 thread, I'm sorry.
I have just spoken to The Classic Camera (London's friendliest and most knowledgeable Leica dealer in my opinion).
They are expecting a sample of the UK's first final production M8 in the first two weeks of November and will be inviting all those on the waiting list for a private playtime. It will be after this, presumably, that one can confirm or cancel one's order.
I understand, thereafter, TCC will be receiving 15 M8's a month. This will clear their current waiting list by February 2007. However, it's been mentioned that I could creep up the waiting list significantly if I would be happy with a chrome model.

Thanks for the HU. Black is sooo much cooler though (imho), and as we all know, black Leicas take better photos

So they have about 60 currently on their waiting list? That's consistent with what I'm finding here in the states with the well knowns Leica dealers -- about 50-60 on their waiting lists. I'm going to go out on a limb here and forecast that the short term financial future of Leica looks very good.
