Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!

[quote=HAnkg]So how come every US dealer including B+H and Adorama is back-ordered?

/QUOTE]

They could be back-ordered because

o there is a shortage of M8s without the first-generation defect.


o Leica is busy trying to repair the defective cameras already shipped


o Leica is reluctant to ship second-generation M8s until they are certain they are defect free


o Leica does not have enough IR lens filters to ship new cameras
