My M8 needs repair

Yes, Robert, I have already emailed Leica payment. They did not say how long the waiting time will be, but they sounded very nice.
 
I would also go for it. I cannot think of a way to replace it for that price. If you bought a used M8, you would have no way to tell if the same problem would crop up with that.
 
I think of it in the same way; if I don't like to see the dead line in each frame, and I don't have the time to fix each image somehow with some software, then I better decide to sell the camera as is and buy a replacement camera, or I fix it for $518. What is the dead pixels now seen will develop into additional dead lines?
 
I will post here when I get back my M8. I am optimistic that it will be much sooner, Bob. :)
 
Leica NJ emailed me that my M8 is being mailed to me "now". It was about 5 weeks, I think once they diagnosed what needed to be done.

Bob: you were wrong here. Leica did things pretty quickly.
 
My M8 has arrived home today. What a relief. Leica calls rge "remapping" as being : manual pixel and column correction.

There is a one year warranty.
