[LRflex] M8 Kaput O.T. update

Dear Flexers,
First thank you to those of you both on and off list you have emailed me with 
advice and condolences. Your concern is appreciated. Since there is no Leica 
service in Canada without contacting New Jersey and that means dealing with 
Canadian customs, yesterday morning after being unable to revive the camera 
overnight, I shipped it off to Solms via Canada Post Purolator. I emailed 
Andrea Frankl at Leica Customer service in Solms and copied Kelvin Leung at 
Schmidt in Hong Kong that I wanted the repaired / replaced camera sent to Hong 
Kong. Kelvin has come back with an acknowledgement and an apology and Andrea 
has replied noting the shipping information. So, Leica customer service is 
doing okay so far. As insurance I have obtained from David Young the emails of 
the senior people that he dealt with during his DMR trials and I will keep 
those for use if necessary. In the meantime I am shooting with my wife's Canon 
G7 which is a competent little machine but not nearly as satisfying a
 s using the M8.
Cheers
Howard (in sunny Muskoka today).
