I bought one in Dec. 96, had it replaced; bought a 2nd R8 in Jan, & had it replaced. Each R8 failed in an identical manner; the mirrors just flipped up ( after minor usage ) & never came back down........Really ;-)!. The replacements have been working great ever since. >>shipped my R8......second time....with electrical<< >>problems....still haven't heard a word. None of my >>messages were returned<< Leica USA took care of my problems immediately. I would suggest a call to Ernst Hartmann ( Service Manager ) or Roger Horn ( President ). These are service oriented folks that give a "damn". ;-)! Tom D.
