I have used both - if it is worth the money only you can decide. I personally really liked the quiet shutter of the M8.2Would y'all help with which M8 to buy? I know the differences, but are they worth the price difference? Assuming I can afford either one, of course. Thanks for advise from actual experience.
My shutter actually died close to the end of the warranty, but since I was on the waiting list for the M8 update, Leica simply bumped me to the front rather than exchanging the shutter twice. However, when the camera returned, in addition to the normal bill, around €1300, for the full update (shutter, screen, framelines), I also got a Kostenvoranschlag (suggested cost) for €2000! I still don't know what that was for, but it sure made my heart look for a new spot to live, temporarily.I think you have not been in touch with the shutter issues with the M8. There have been numerous failures (mine was one of them). The original shutter looked like it exploded. Of course this happens one day after the warranty runs out (joke! LOL).
