[Leica] The trouble I've seen

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

Howard,

What was your experience with the RD1's?

Given the paranoia I have with electronics and malfunctions, the only thing
that brought me to buying an RD1 was it's plummet in pricing to $1500, and
buying mine from a fastidious LUG person who switched back to film.

I can't foresee Leica M8's getting down to that price, and "$4K with
warranty" hasn't hit my "buy it now" threshold.  And I'd be scared of
selling the M8 after the expiry of the warranty, and the story that I'd have
to disclose to the potential buyer.

My RD1 has served me well, although I didn't have the courage to take it on
holidays with me.  I took two Hasselblads and a case of film instead.  

regards
Vick

.... About my luck with the M8 - it seems to be about the same as with the
RD1 - which is a disappointment....
