That it's nearly the same price as here? R8s have been selling here for
that price for some time. With the 3 year passport warranty.
Obviously, they are not selling well, so Leica is cutting the price to make
them sell. With all the bad publicity on the R8 to begin with, it's no
wonder people are reluctant to buy them. All I can say is mine has worked
flawlessly for almost two years.
