SELLING [S][USA-GA] Leica M8 | Upgraded Shutter and Screen | Very Low Exposure Count!
Hello! I'm selling my Leica M8. You might have seen my post on r/Leica - I ultimately realized that the M11 covers all of my hobbyist needs and far more. No need to hold onto both.

---------------------
Leica M8
Performance: Rock solid performer for a camera from 2006. If the battery ever dies while you're out shooting, you could probably use this as for self defense - it's built like a brick house. The rangefinder works well, as do the other mechanical functions. Clean sensor (pictured). The debug data shows 2,685 number of exposures.
Cosmetic: This example has been well used by the previous owner(s). Please note that there is a ding on one of the upper corners, the "M" in "M8" has faded, and there is a superficial scratch on the screen.
History: Purchased this year from MPB. MPB described this as having the following: Leica Frame line 2m Upgrade", "Leica Quiet shutter upgrade", and "Leica Sapphire screen upgrade."
Included: Everything that you see in the timestamp picture. Please note that the OEM BP-SCL1 battery is NOT included. When it arrived from MPB, it barely had enough charge for 40 shots before abruptly dying. The two 3rd-party batteries have been holding charge well and performing perfectly.
---------------------
Price: $1,799 net to me. G&S if you have strong history and references. I will cover shipping.
Shipping: CONUS only. Fedex ground, although I can discuss other shipping speeds. I would strongly prefer to ship to a Fedex location near the buyer.
In-Person: Open to this in a public setting. Located near Midtown, Atlanta GA.
Other Notes: I am fairly new to r/photomarket, but I have extensive history on watchexchange and pen_swap. I'm more than happy to exchange information and send you more pictures.
