So, I'm doing the new shutter...

Leica service .. so nearly so good.

My M8 went back to Solms last Thursday (10 days ago) by Wednesday it was 'repair complete' and shipped . . . should have arrived on Thursday, so I waited in . . . . . hmmmm I emailed for a tracking number . . . none was forthcoming. Today I waited in again, then rang this afternoon. They'd sent it to a Leica dealer in Germany by mistake

Apologetic . . .yes . . . efficient . . no. We're off to Cornwall for a few days tomorrow, and they've promised to get it shipped to me down there.

I'll keep you posted!

Hi There
My camera has nearly completed it's round trip of European dealers, and I'm sitting in waiting for it to arrive today . . . here's hoping!

just got mine back...9 days turnaround, as promised.

I'm a tight framer and like to print as full frame as possible. first thing i did was mount the 75 cron and o'boy, the frame lines are perfect for a 2 meter distance. I was hating using that lens, but now, wysiwyg! i only got the shutter in the hope that a new, less stressed one would be more long lived.

even if all you do is get the framelines and the warranty, it seems a very worthwhile deal

I bought an upgraded M8 (shutter and framelines) from a good friend here on the forum. I LOVE the new shutter - much softer and quieter. Although I do miss 1/8000 shutter speed.

The framelines are more accurate, but that wasn't as big of a deal to me, as I'm pretty loose in my framing anyway. But the viewfinder appears now to be a tad brighter and clearer with the new framelines.

Overall, a nice upgrade.

Mine went in today on it's way to NJ. Shutter and framelines. I was going to hold off with the Canadian dollar value where it is but warranty is up at the end of this month and I have a trip coming up.
