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!

Did you even bother to read the Leica statement?

Now that's a plan!

I guess I'll set up a new eBay search and pick up M8s with dead LCD screens.

A new cottage industry?

And that is what a good company would do.

I know of one case where exactly that has happened. You might not be happy with the price of the changeover. What trade-in would you expect to get, even for a perfect M8?
