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

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

See, that was the deal-breaker for me - the possibility of catastrophic 
failure of the M8.

That is why I sold my M8. 

Not because I needed the money, and I hated the depreciation.

But because despite the camera worked flawlessly for me for when I had 
it, I couldn't stand the thought that one day it would fail, and I would 
not be able to fix it.

I have shelves of Leicas, Nikons, Rollei's, Hasselblads, etc. and I know 
and accept that they all depreciate, but I know, if I pick one up and 
load film in it, it will work.  And if it doesn't, I pretty much know 
how to fix it (well, except for me 203FE).
