Unfortunaltely ..... positive and balanced threads like the one you linked to related to the M8 get very low attention in comparison to the ... well you know😉jaapv said:

I think i will stay out for a while and start shooting the beast ... in the meantime prepare myself for a short personal trip to Solms to get the streaking fixed 🙂

I don't think anything is "free" in this world. If you included an IR filter with every lens, the people whose interest was monochrome could rightfully claim that they were being subjected to an unneeded expense.

I'm waiting a bit. Mine has a very rare and exotic sensor flare problem which manifests itself every 200 shots or so - I'll get both fixed at the same time when I can miss the camera. Sometime in March I think.

Thank you for that link. It's certainly very informative and a must read, especially for those who state their intent to get an R-D1 instead.jaapv said:
As far as the whole discussion is concerned: I used to think that Leica has a touchy userbase that tends to complain a lot. This whole episode shows that it's not so much the actual userbase. It's really the image in the head of the crowd that counts, not so much the actual product.
You can apply this to the M5 as well; it was probably not so much the actual users (of which there never were many) that killed it but tech journalists and people in photography clubs. Most of them probably never had an M5 in their hands for more than five minutes, yet people were very vocal about how the device was completely unusable for them.
What's sad is how we lose people like Sean in the process.

Don't think of the cost, just think of the saving. 😀

That's the sensor flare that all the collector's are raving about - I'd vacuum seal that camera right now!

Too late for that - The camera has been taken out of the box and horror of horrors actually used. 😱

Leica seems to be be very concerned about it's customers and their reaction is like it could have been expected from them. Has Nikon or Canon ever offered discounts on lenses after they sold partially unfunctional cameras? Never. Many Nikon D200 users for instance had to wait months to get the banding problem resolved - without any official communication from the manufacturer.
The M8 is not in my financial reach yet, and I would anyway have waited until the (predictable) children's diseases are cured, before I would buy it. But their reaction to the here well discussed M8-issues let me feel shure that they really try everything to offer a digital rangefinder which is worth it's red dot.

I was photographing a rainbow and got far more than I bargained for...(photo not profiled btw) I would love to hear a technical explanation. I am very happy that there is no sign of the camera making a habit of it 🙂:angel:

Yeah, we need some positive vibe lately, even though M8 is rubish (kidding) I am happy whenever I think that camera has nothing to do with photography and I get really happy that even if I buy all the best cameras and lenses I still have to learn and discover more and more! so that keeps me with hope to live and discover! regardles any lens or body 🙂 so I love photography!!! god I want to shooot!!! 🙂

Maybe they could make it a free option. If you don't need it, you don't have to take it 😀 😀Kim Coxon said:
