I must say I got decent service from Solms, and the repair was covered by the
UK passport warranty (I had bought it at Ffordes in Scotland). Just to make it
clear, the M8 produces the best images of any of my systems, at least so long
ISO is 640 or less. But if the weather is bad, or if it is dark, then the
Pentax K5 is now my camera of choice.
