[Leica] M8 first glitch

[clive.moss at gmail.com (Clive Moss)]

I am going on a three week trip to Israel in April - I was sort of 
planning to take the new M8, with a backup of the M6 for really wide 
stuff. Now I am getting nervous about that. I do not want to carry a 
load of undeveloped film back home with me, and I don't know what quick 
processing in Israel is like.
Maybe I should stick with my trusty Nikon D200 and D100. Never had a 
glitch with any Nikon gear that was not caused by me dropping them for 
at least three feet (1 meter)

So the question becomes - how many people have had their M8 die within 
the first month of service? I mean die, not trivia like magenta cast and 
all the other stuff that has been fixed one way or another.
