[Leica] for those who can't wait your M8 to come in......

[mcyclwritr at comcast.net (mcyclwritr@comcast.net)]

All the black M8s in the first shipment were spoken for in September. 

Still, why pay a premium? Just like popcorn, another batch is on the way. 
Once the rabid, I-GOT-MINE-FIRST crowd is sated, M8s will be discounted at 
Leica Days events. Which should just about offset sales tax in most 
metropolitan areas. 

Also, a Lecia rep 'splained to me that the M8 does NOT get the same 
no-fault, USA Passport warranty that fumble-fingered fools have come to know 
and count on. Nope. It's because of the sensor, which is way too easy to 
goof up. And Leica doesn't want to be in the sensor replacement business. At 
least for free.
